CORN DOG BATTER



Corn Dog Batter image

I came up with this batter by combining the best parts of several recipes to perfect a corn dog batter. It's great for zucchini slices, too! I live alone and the beauty of this batter is you don't have to use it all at once... leftover batter will last another day or two in the fridge. Please don't fry at more than 350° because the corn meal will burn before the veggies/corn dog pieces are cooked. .

Time 26m

Yield 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 1/2 cups cornmeal
1/2 cup flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 egg
1 1/4 cups buttermilk (I never have buttermilk on hand so I use whole milk with 1 Tbsp of vinegar added and let it set for )
1/2 cup flour (in a bag to shake or dredge veggies or frankfurter pieces)

Steps:

  • Combine all ingredients (except the 1/2 cup of flour used for dredging) in a mixing bowl and whisk until smooth. Let set for about five minutes. Add another Tbsp or two of milk if you need to thin it a little
  • These make the cutest little corn "puppies" or corn "McNuggets" Cut as many frankfurters into four equal segments as you will need for however many people you are cooking for. Stick a toothpick into each of them, dip in batter, and fry. Leave the toothpick in -- it's cute. Or, if making full length dogs, pour batter in a tall glass and dip your weiner in it.
  • Drain on paper towels or newsprint and serve with mustard or ketchup or whatever condiments you want.
  • *TIPS --.
  • Remember -- this batter can be saved for a day or two so no need to use it all at once. If reusing batter from fridge take it out long enough for it to be room temperature. You might need to add a TBSP or two of water to loosen it back up to the right consistency.

IOWA STATE FAIR CORN DOGS



Iowa State Fair Corn Dogs image

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.

STATE FAIR MINI CORN DOGS



State Fair Mini Corn Dogs image

After reading several other corn dog recipes on here I couldn't find one that was really what I was looking for and took what I had around the house. I went into experiment mode and this is what I came up with. They are very similar in taste to the state fair corn dogs that come in the box. I used ballpark all beef franks. My toddlers DEVOURED. I kept the recipe small, since it was an experiment.

Time 20m

Yield 12 mini corn dogs, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 hot dogs
1/4 cup self-rise cornmeal
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/3 cup milk
1 tablespoon water (may need more)
oil (for frying)

Steps:

  • Heat oil to 375F.
  • Get out 4 thawed hot dogs and lay on paper towels to dry.
  • Combine all dry ingredients and blend well.
  • Stir in Milk.
  • Add just enough water so that it sticks well to the spoon without running off.
  • Finish patting dry the hot dogs
  • I cut my hot dogs into thirds and make bite size corn dogs.
  • Take a paper sucker stick, put it into one side of the hot dog, dip it into the bowl of batter and spoon batter over to evenly coat.
  • Put it into the deep fryer, using another stick to push it off of the other
  • I suggest holding it up a little bit with the stick if you are using a deep fryer with a basket, this will allow the bottom to begin cooking before it gets caught in the basket.
  • Fry until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Let cool on paper towels to remove excess oil.
  • Prep time does not include the amount of time it takes individual deep fryers to heat up.
