In this video I demonstrate how I make corn chips. These are similar to the popular brand name corn chip “Fritos”. They are very simple to make with just a few ingredients. They make a good side dish for sandwiches or a topping for a bowl of chili, or just for snacking on during a televised sporting event or a good movie.
—————
Just 3 simple ingredients:
Corn meal : 1 cup
table salt : 1 teaspoon (or to preference)
Really hot water not boiling: (about approximately a couple of ounces almost, kind of, sort of, nearly just enough)

You’ll also need oil for frying them, Since they are corn chips why not use corn oil? However any oil will work, peanut, canola, soy whatever!

Disclaimer: Because you make these yourself, you have the option to fry these to whatever ever level of crispness that you want. It may take a little practice and patience to get them to close to the commercial brand name chip level of crispness . You can fry them soft like corn bread or as hard as a piece ceramic. I am not responsible for damaged dental work if you over cook them.
