Homemade Mini Corn Dog
Description
The recipe starts by mixing dry ingredients—cornmeal, flour, salt, sugar, and baking powder—in one bowl, and wet ingredients—milk and egg—in another before combining them to maintain baking powder effectiveness and correct batter consistency. Hot dogs are cut into smaller pieces and dried before being dipped in the batter, which should have a ribbon-like texture to coat well without dripping excessively. Frying is done in 350-degree oil for 2 to 3 minutes until the batter turns golden brown. The crispy exterior contrasts with the tender, juicy hot dog inside. This method provides a classic flavor and texture reminiscent of fair-style corn dogs scaled down to mini size.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup cornmeal yellow
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 egg
- 16 ounces hotdog
- vegetable oil for frying
Instructions
- Fill a medium-sized pot with enough oil to cover the bottom 4 inches of the pot in oil.
- Heat oil to 350 degrees.
- In a medium bowl, combine cornmeal, flour, salt, sugar, and baking powder.
- In a small bowl, whisk together milk and egg.
- Add liquid mixture to dry mixture and stir until well blended.
- Cut hot dogs into thirds.
- Blot hot dogs with paper towels until they are dry.
- Dip hot dogs into the cornmeal mixture to coat the hot dogs with batter then shake to remove excess batter.
- Carefully drop the dipped hot dogs into the hot oil.
- Cook for 2 to 3 minutes or until golden brown.
- Serve with your favorite condiments.
Notes
- Keep dry and wet ingredients separate until combining to ensure proper batter texture.
- The batter should coat the spoon and fall off in thick ribbons for the right consistency.
- Dry the hot dogs well before dipping to help the batter adhere.
- Use room-temperature batter and cold hot dogs to achieve the best coating.
