IOWA STATE FAIR CORN DOGS
Who doesn't like corn dogs? I bet not many. This recipe is from the Gourmet web exclusive and these are very yummy! The original recipe calls for grilling the hot dogs first to bring out the smokier taste to the corn dogs and they do, but if you are in a hurry like many of us, you can go from opening the package of hot dogs to this recipe and the results will still be great. This recipe calls for 8 hot dogs, but I find that there is usually about 1/3 of the batter leftover every time. Not a problem, you can use the leftover batter to fry up anything else such as asparagus, green beans, onions, etc after making corn dogs. They will taste wonderful. The direction calls for a tall glass. The tall glass will hold the batter and you dunk the hot dogs in the glass which makes it much more convenient than rolling hot dogs around in a bowl with a batter.
