Homemade Corn Chips (Like Fritos)

In a blender or food processor, place:
2 eggs

2-1/2 cups water

1 cup unbleached white flour
 
1 cup yellow cornmeal
    Blend until well mixed.  In a lightly greased frying pan, make extra-thin pancakes, cooking over medium heat until just done through but not brown.  Do not turn.  Dust with cornmeal, and stack the "pancakes" until all batter has been cooked.  Cut with a pizza cutter or sharp knife into traditional or fancy shapes.  Carefully deep-fry in small batches of strips in 4 cups vegetable oil at 350ºF.  Drain on paper towels over a layer of newspapers.  Sprinkle evenly with salt to taste.  Allow to cool and serve.
Makes about 1-1/2 lb. chips.

A lot cheaper than store bought but tastes amazingly like the 'real thing.'
