Corn dogs have always been one of my favorite snacks to eat growing up. As I grew older and started realizing how "bad" corn dogs could be, I started limiting my consumption. However, I recently found this awesome recipe and decided that I'll change things up so that I feel less guilty about eating them. Awesome and easy recipe, and it's definitely a recipe to try!
Ingredients:
- 1 cup of yellow corn meal
- 1 cup of all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon of salt
- 1/8 teaspoon of black pepper
- 1/4 cup of sugar
- 4 teaspoons of baking powder
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup of milk (I used skim milk but can use 1%/2%/whole based on your preference)
- wooden skewers (shorter the better)
- Canola oil for deep-frying the corn dogs
- Beef franks (I used 98% fat free hot dogs)
Directions:
1. Pour enough canola oil in a deep-sauce pan and preheat the oil on low/medium heat so that it will be hot enough to start frying once you are done mixing the batter.
2. Steam the hot dogs (I used microwave to save time--about 30 seconds).
3. Cut the hot dogs in half and inset the wooden skewers into the hot dog. Set them aside.
4. In a medium bowl, mix the cornmeal, flour, sugar, salt, black pepper, and baking power together.

(I didn't have the 1 tsp spoon, so used 1/2 tsp spoon 4 times for the baking powder)
sugar
5. Stir in the egg and milk into the dry mixture.

6. Stir the ingredients until it's well-mixed.
7. Roll the hot dogs in batter until well coated.
8. Fry 2 or 3 corn dogs at a time until lightly browned, about 2-3 minutes. The batter makes about 24 corn dogs.
Yum! Like it??
