A PLUS FAIR CORN DOGS

Steps:

• Heat oil in a deep fryer to 365 degrees F (185 degrees C).
• In a large bowl, stir together the flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder and salt. Stir in melted bacon drippings. Make a well in the center, and pour in the egg, buttermilk, and baking soda. Mix until everything is smooth and well blended.
• Pat the hot dogs dry with paper towels so that the batter will stick. Insert wooden sticks into the ends. Dip the hot dogs in the batter one at a time, shaking off the excess. Deep fry a few at a time in the hot oil until they are as brown as you like them. Drain on paper towels or serve on paper plates.

ALL AMERICAN CORN DOGS

Steps:

• First of all make the batter mix using all of the ingredients listed apart from the hot dogs, skewers, vegetable oil and extra flour for dredging. Its best to mix all of the dry ingredients thoroughly in a bowl first, mix the wet ingredients separately and then add to the dry ingredients mixing well. Pour the batter into a large jug.
• Now put the extra flour with some salt and pepper onto a large plate and dredge the hot dog sausages through this, shaking off any excess. This helps the batter stick to the hot dogs.
• Heat the oil in a large wide pan to a constant 350°F If you don't have a thermometer, a cube of bread should brown in no less than 2 minutes and no more than 4 minutes at this temperature (before you do this you might want to check that your hot dogs and skewers will fit).
• Insert the skewers just over half way up the dogs, dip into the jug of batter, allowing most of the excess to drain off and fry lengthways, 2 at a time, for about 4 minutes or until golden brown.
• Drain on kitchen towels and serve on the skewer with American mustard and tomato ketchup.
• These are really special, allow for more than 1 each, I figure if you're taking the time to make these, you may as well make a feast of it.

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.
