Ingredients
For the corn dogs
- vegetable oil for frying
- 14 oz package mini smoked sausages
- 1 cup masa harina or regular corn meal
- 3/4 cup all purpose flour
- 1 Tbsp sugar
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1 egg
- 1 1/2 cups buttermilk possibly more
for the New York Style Onion Sauce
- 2 Tbsp olive oil
- 1 onion minced
- 2 cups water
- 1/4 cup ketchup
- 2 Tbsp tomato paste
- 1 tsp corn syrup
- 1 tsp cornstarch
- 1 Tbsp vinegar
- pinch hot pepper flakes
- 1/2 tsp salt
Instructions
onion sauce
- To make the sauce: saute the onion for five minutes, until it's softened but not browned.
- Add the rest of the ingredients and bring to a simmer. Cook for about 45 minutes, until reduced and thickened.
- Cool and refrigerate until needed.
corn dogs
- For the corn dogs, pour the oil to a depth of about 2 inches in a saucepan. Heat to 350F degrees.
- While the oil is heating spear the mini sausages onto long toothpicks or cocktail skewers, set aside.
- To make the batter, whisk the dry ingredients together in a mixing bowl
- Beat the egg and buttermilk together and add to the dry ingredients. Mix well. If the batter seems too thick for dipping, add a little more buttermilk.
- Working with 2 at a time, dip the mini dogs in the batter, swirling around to completely coat, then tap off the excess and drop into the hot oil, stick and all. Fry a few at a time, stirring gently to ensure that they brown evenly. They will fry to a golden brown in about 2 minutes.
- Set the dogs on a rack or paper towel to drain while you fry the rest.
- Serve hot with the onion sauce on the side for dipping.
Notes
- I didn't have any trouble getting the batter to stick to the dogs, but if you do, lightly dust them with a little flour or cornstarch first. If you're wondering whether you can do a baked version, I tried and wasn't happy with the results. Even with a thicker batter, it slides down off the dog before it can cook in the oven.
