DAD'S HOMEMADE CORN DOGS

Steps:

• Combine cornmeal, flour, white sugar, baking powder, salt, and pepper in a bowl; stir in milk and egg until batter is smooth. Refrigerate until batter is chilled.
• Bring a large pot of water to a boil; cook hot dogs until heated through, about 7 minutes. Let hot dogs rest for 10 minutes and dry hot dogs on a paper towel.
• Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Insert 1 skewer into each hot dog.
• Pour batter into a large drinking glass. Dip hot dogs into the batter until well coated.
• Fry 2 to 3 hot dogs at a time in the hot oil until lightly browned, about 3 minutes. Drain on paper towels.

CORN DOGS

Steps:

• Whisk the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, mustard powder and 1 1/2 teaspoons salt in a large bowl. Whisk the milk, eggs and peanut oil in another bowl, then add to the cornmeal mixture and whisk until smooth. Pour the batter into a tall drinking glass, reserving any extra batter.
• Heat 3 to 4 inches peanut oil in a large, wide saucepan over medium heat until a deep-fry thermometer registers 365 degrees F. Spread some flour in a shallow dish. Thread each hot dog three-quarters of the way onto an 8-inch wooden skewer. Dredge the hot dogs in flour, tapping off the excess.
• Working in batches, dip the hot dogs into the glass of batter; let the excess drip back into the glass, then lower the hot dogs into the hot oil. Fry, turning, until golden, 4 to 5 minutes per batch. (Refill the glass with batter as needed.) Remove the corn dogs with tongs and drain on a paper towel-lined plate; season with salt.

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.

CORN DOGS

Steps:

• Combine cornmeal, flour, baking powder, salt and egg; mix well.
• Stir in milk to make a thick batter; place in a tall narrow glass. Let stand 4 minutes to thicken.
• Meanwhile, heat oil to 375 degrees F.
• Pat hot dogs dry. Dust with flour if desired. Insert sticks in hot dogs; dip into batter. Let excess drip off.
• Fry until golden brown, about 5-6 minutes. (I've found it works best to fry them one at a time. Unless you have a fryer that is big enough to handle more without them touching.).
• Drain on paper towel.

EASY FUN-SIZE CORN DOGS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
• Cut each hot dog into 6 pieces.
• Pour egg, 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, sugar, and milk into a mixing bowl; whisk until combined. Add white vinegar, cornmeal, flour, baking powder, baking soda, kosher salt, and cayenne. Whisk briskly until ingredients are combined and batter is relatively thin and overmixed. Set batter aside for 10 minutes before using.
• Meanwhile, brush two 12-cup mini muffin tins with 2 tablespoons vegetable oil. Fill the prepared muffin cups to about 1/8 inch from the top. Gently push a piece of hot dog into the center of each one.
• Bake in the preheated oven until nicely browned, about 18 minutes. Let cool for at least 5 minutes before removing from the pan.

HOMEMADE CORN DOGS

Steps:

• In food processor or coffee grinder, grind garlic cloves with corn meal in small batches until well powdered.
• Sprinkle liberally over counter where dough is to be rolled.
• Grease two cookie sheets.
• Separate dough into four equal parts. Roll each section of bread dough out in thin strips, widening out to fit just over the ends of one brat to measure width.
• Roll one brat at a time, cutting dough and pinching sides together over backs of each brat.
• Roll again in corn meal on counter, adding more cornmeal sprinkle as needed to coat brats.
• Arrange double the width of each corn dog on greased cookie sheets. Cover with warm damp towels; place in warm place and let rise until doubled in bulk.
• Bake at 375 for 30 minutes; brush with butter. Serve.

HOMEMADE CORNDOGS

Steps:

• Heat about 3 1/2 inches of oil to 375 degrees F in a large pot with steep sides. The oil should be hot, but not smoking. Meanwhile, make the batter by whisking the pancake mix, cornmeal and salt together in a large mixing bowl. Continue whisking and add the buttermilk and egg until the mixture is smooth. Insert the skewers into the frankfurters, leaving 2 inches exposed, and dip each into the prepared batter until fully coated. Next, working very carefully, dip each coated frankfurter into the hot oil, using tongs to turn, while cooking until golden brown on all sides, about 1 minute. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate and serve immediately with desired condiments.
