Time 30m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

1 cup polenta
1 2/3 cup all-purpose flour
6 tablespoons sugar
3 tablespoons kosher salt
2/3 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 cup milk
1 large egg yolk
8 cups vegetable oil
6 cooked gourmet sausages, such as bratwurst, Polish or Andouille

Steps:

In a medium bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water, whisk together the polenta and 2 cups water. Cook until the water is absorbed and polenta is cooked, about 5 minutes. Set aside, stirring occasionally, until cool. In a separate medium bowl, stir together the flour, sugar, salt, baking soda, milk, egg yolk and 1/3 cup water (mixture will be lumpy). Stir in the polenta until smooth.
In a large Dutch oven, heat the oil until it registers 350 degrees F on a thermometer. Pierce the sausages with chopsticks (do not pierce all the way through). Working in batches, dip the sausages into the polenta batter until evenly coated. Place the sausages (still on sticks) in the hot oil. Cook, turning occasionally, until the corn dogs float to the top and are evenly browned, about 5 minutes.

Time 19m

Yield 20

Number Of Ingredients 12

Ingredients

1 quart oil for deep frying
1 cup all-purpose flour
⅔ cup yellow cornmeal
¼ cup white sugar
1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons bacon drippings
1 egg, beaten
1 ¼ cups buttermilk
½ teaspoon baking soda
2 pounds hot dogs
wooden sticks

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.
