Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/3 c cornmeal
1 1/4 c flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 c caster sugar
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper (optional)
1 egg, lightly beaten
1 1/3 c buttermilk
8 hot dogs
vegetable oil to deep fry
ketchup and mustard, to serve
8 x 20 cm wooden skewers.

Steps:

  • 1. Place polenta, 1 cup flour, baking soda, baking powder, cayenne pepper (if using), sugar and ½ teaspoon salt in a bowl and stir to combine. Stir in egg, then, gradually stir in enough buttermilk to make a smooth, thick batter.
  • 2. Fill a deep-fryer or large saucepan ⅓ full with oil and heat over medium heat to 180°C.
  • 3. Place remaining ¼ cup flour in a shallow bowl and, working with one hot dog at a time, dust in flour, shaking off the excess, then, holding one end of the hot dog with tongs, coat liberally in batter.
  • 4. Gently drop into oil and fry for 4 minutes, turning halfway, or until crisp and golden.
  • 5. Drain on paper towel.
  • 6. Thread corn dogs onto skewers and serve immediately with ketchup and mustard.
  • 7. If you can fit them into your fryer, the frankfurters can be threaded onto the skewers before flouring and coating with batter.
