Corn Dogs On A Stick Food

CLASSIC CORN DOGS AND CHEESE-ON-A-STICK

Steps:

• **USE CAUTION WHEN FRYING WITH OIL. KEEP POT ON THE BACK BURNER TO PROTECT SMALL KIDDOS**In a large bowl, combine pancake mix and cornmeal. Stir to combine. Add eggs and water, adding more water as needed for the batter to become slightly thick (but not overly gloopy.) Start out by adding 4 cups, then work your way up to 6 cups or more.Heat canola oil over medium-high heat. Drop in a bit of batter to see if it's ready: the batter should immediately start to sizzle but should not immediately brown/burn. Insert sticks into hot dogs so that they're 2/3 of the way through. Do the same with the cheese sticks.Dip the hot dogs into the batter and allow excess to drip off for a couple of seconds. Carefully drop into the oil (stick and all) and use tongs or a spoon to make sure it doesn't hit the bottom of the pan and stick. Flip it here and there to ensure even browning, and remove it from the oil when the outside is deep golden brown, about 2 to 3 minutes. Repeat with cheese, allowing it to get as golden as possible so that cheese will melt completely.Serve with spicy mustard.

CORN DOGS

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, combine cornmeal, flour, salt, pepper, sugar and baking powder. Stir in eggs and milk.
• Preheat oil in a deep saucepan over medium heat. Insert wooden skewers into frankfurters. Roll frankfurters in batter until well coated.
• Fry 2 or 3 corn dogs at a time until lightly browned, about 3 minutes. Drain on paper towels.

CORN DOGS

Steps:

• Special equipment: 8 sets chopsticks, not separated
• Pour oil into a deep fryer or large heavy pot and heat to 375 degrees F. In a medium mixing bowl, combine the cornmeal, flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda, and cayenne pepper. In a separate bowl, combine the jalapeno, corn, onion, and buttermilk. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients all at once, and stir only enough times to bring the batter together; there should be lumps. Set batter aside and allow to rest for 10 minutes.
• Scatter the cornstarch into a dry pie pan. Roll each hot dog in the cornstarch and tap well to remove any excess.
• Transfer enough batter to almost fill a large drinking glass. Refill the glass as needed. Place each hot dog on chopsticks, and quickly dip in and out of the batter. Immediately and carefully place each hot dog into the oil, and cook until coating is golden brown, about 4 to 5 minutes. With tongs, remove to cooling rack, and allow to drain for 3 to 5 minutes.

KOREAN STYLE "HOTDOG" AKA CORN DOG

Steps:

• In a medium sized bowl, sift the flour and sweet rice flour together. Add the sugar, salt and yeast on to the flour mixture.
• In a separate small bowl, mix together the water and vegetable oil. Pour into the flour mixture. Mix well and knead until well combined. The dough will be slightly sticky.
• Cover with a plastic wrap and place in a warm place until the dough has doubled. About one hour.
• Prepare the skewers. You can play with options here: one hot dog, one stick of blocked cheese, or a mix of the two. Make the 6 skewers as you please, and set aside.
• If using hot dogs, prepare them as stated on the package (I usually boil them for a few minutes).
• For the skewers, I like to do about ½ a hot dog and a similar length and fatness chunk of mozzarella cheese. For the cheese, lay the block next to the hotdog and cut in a similar width so the corndog will be similar size throughout the the stick.
• Prepare the breadcrumbs. Spread 1-2 cups of breadcrumbs on to a flat plate. Set aside.
• Gently pat the proofed dough and remove the gas bubbles.
• Separate the dough into 6 equal pieces. Take one dough, and roll it out into a long strip; long enough to wrap around the corn dog. Take one skewer, beginning from the bottom, wrap it around until the top. Pinch all the sides together so it becomes smooth. Roll the corn dog in bread crumbs. Repeat with the other skewers.
• Heat a pot with frying oil (corn oil, vegetable oil), until the heat reaches 350 degrees Fahrenheit (180 Celsius). If you don't have a thermometer, drop in a few breadcrumbs and the oil is ready when they bubble to the top.
• Fry each hotdog until it is golden brown on the outside. Lay on a baking rack.
• *Optional: If you want to enjoy it the Korean way, spread ½ cup of sugar on to a plate. Roll the fried hotdog on the plate for something extra special.
• Squirt a thin strip of ketchup on to the hot just-fried hotdog and enjoy. If you used cheese, it will be stringy if enjoyed when still hot!

HOT DOG ON A STICK® CLONE

Steps:

• Preheat oil in a deep pan or fryer to 375 degrees.
• Combine the flour, cornmeal, sugar, salt, and baking soda in a large bowl.
• Add the milk and egg yolks to the dry ingredients and mix with an electric mixer on high speed until batter is smooth.
• Dry off the hot dogs with a paper towel.
• Jab the thin end of a single chopstick about halfway into the end of each hot dog.
• When the oil is hot, tip the bowl of batter so that you can completely coat each hot dog. Roll the hot dog in the batter until it is entirely covered.
• Hold the hot dog up by the stick and let some of the batter drip off. Quickly submerge the hot dog in the oil and spin it slowly so that the coating cooks evenly. After about 20 seconds you can use a lid to the deep fryer or pan to put weight on the stick, keeping the hot dog fully immersed in the oil. You can cook a couple dogs at a time this way.
• Cook for 5 to 6 minutes or until coating is dark brown. Turn them once or twice as they cook.
• Drain on paper towels while cooling, and repeat with remaining hot dogs.

KOREAN-INSPIRED CORN DOGS WITH BOOM BOOM SAUCE

Steps:

• Fill a large Dutch oven halfway with canola oil. Heat to 325 degrees F over medium heat. Place a wire rack in a rimmed baking sheet. Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F.
• While the oil is heating, halve the hot dogs crosswise and skewer each one lengthwise with a takeout chopstick, thick skewer or ice-pop stick. Arrange them in a single layer on a plate and place in the freezer until cold but not frozen, 10 to 15 minutes.
• Mix together the milk, brown sugar and egg in a large bowl with a rubber spatula. Add the all-purpose flour, rice flour, baking powder and salt and stir until combined and smooth. The batter should be thicker than a pancake batter, but you should be able to wrap it around the dogs easily. Add another tablespoon or two of water if the mixture gets too thick. Place the panko and sweet potato fries, if using, in separate wide shallow bowls or baking dishes.
• To make the regular dogs (without the sweet potatoes), dip the hot dogs one at a time in the batter, making sure the entire dog is coated. Roll the battered dog in the panko, then drop it in the hot oil. You can fry 4 to 5 at a time. Fry until deep golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes, then remove with a slotted spoon to the rack-lined baking sheet. Place the baking sheet in the oven to keep the dogs warm and repeat with the remaining hot dogs, allowing the oil to return to 325 degrees F before frying the next batch.
• Or, to make the sweet potato dogs, dip the hot dogs one at a time in the batter, then roll in the sweet potato mixture, firmly pressing on any loose potatoes. Fry until the potatoes and batter are deep golden brown, 4 to 5 minutes, then remove with a slotted spoon to the rack-lined baking sheet. Place the baking sheet in the oven to keep the dogs warm and repeat with the remaining hot dogs, allowing the oil to return to 325 degrees F before frying the next batch.
• When ready to serve, sprinkle with the granulated sugar if desired and drizzle with the Boom Boom Sauce and ketchup or mustard, if using. Serve warm.
• Mix the mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha and garlic salt together in a medium bowl. Transfer into a squeeze bottle (if desired). Refrigerate until ready to use.
