   Mix corn muffin mix, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and cayenne pepper in a bowl until blended.

2. 2

   Stir eggs and evaporated milk into dry ingredients until moistened.

3. 3

   Stir cream-style corn into mixture to make a moist batter. Let batter stand while oil heats.

   Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
