Need Good Corn Chip Recipe

[garden granny]

something that can be made with frozen corn. Any really good ones that anyone can recommend that they really love?

Are your talking about corn chips like Fritos or like tortillas chips that you eat at mexican restaurants?

Alissa's corn chip recipe in her book uses frozen corn and, has long as you spread the batter thin enough but not too thin and dehydrate long enough, the chips are great.

I have a recipe too - I use purple corn in mine but you can leave that out.

My recipe is close to Alissa's

GG,

RawCutter's corn chips ROCK! http://www.rawfoodtalk.com/showthread.php?p=259543&highlight=corn#post259543

I haven't had much success with crackers and such as I don't care much for the texture or taste or both of most (save Trotter & Klein's Dragon Crackers) until I tried these. They are YUM-O and very simple to make, and I always make them with frozen corn that I've thawed out (about 2-1/2 cups worth).

Good luck,

EC

I made the corn chip recipe from Alissa's book and I ended up tossing it out. I made 1 tray thin and 1 tray thicker. The thicker one was so stuck to my tray no way I could get it off to flip it. The thin one was so crispy it flaked all over the place. I tried to eat it and it all stuck to my teeth......roflmao!! normally it wouldn't have been a bother but I had to go to the dentist in an hour and it took me forever to get it off my teeth....can we say floss and brush over and over again?? lol

I noticed that too. The purple corn is dry so it seems to help with the "stickiness" and make the chip more crispy. It really is almost an 'art' to knowing exactly how much batter to add for each chip to make it not to thick and not too thin. I have made those mistakes more times than I can count. I have done a lot of experimenting with raw chips! :)

Another tip is to add some dry ground flax seed (I like golden better) - it makes for crispier chips. Yellow corn by itself is very sugary so you will definatley have some chewy chips - unless you add the perfect amount of water too it.

So far, the crispiest chips tend I have made tend to be ones with a combo of yellow corn and the purple corn or yellow corn and ground flax.

Why did these chips turn out chewy? Do I need to dehydrate them longer, or did I dry them too long?

Thanks,

Green,

Don't know what to tell you! I made another batch and they came out great! Did you spread them thin? How long did you dehydrate? I think I do mine about 10 hours.

Well, I dehydrated them at 120 for one hour, then 115 for the next, then 105 until they were done, which took, in total, about 22 hours....

At ten hours they were delish as a wrap, like a tortilla, but better!

now they are crisp after the 22nd hour.. AND delicious, just as you said..my first yummo chip that I've made to date!

What temp did you dry yours at?

Thanks,
Green
