CALIFORNIA CORN DOGS

My kids loved these-I used the pot method, not the deep fryer and they came out great! This recipe originated from Todd Wilbur, however I have adjusted the flour-I like a bit more corn meal flavor.

Provided by Diana Adcock

Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 15m

Yield 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 3/4 cups flour
3/4 cup yellow cornmeal
1/2 cup sugar
1 3/4 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 3/4 cups nonfat milk
2 egg yolks, beaten
10 turkey hot dogs
8 -10 cups vegetable oil
5 pairs of wooden chop sticks

Steps:

  • Preheat oil to 375 degrees (use a deep fryer OR deep pot).
  • Combine flour, corn meal, sugar, salt and baking soda in a large bowl.
  • Combine the milk and egg yolks and add to dry ingredients.
  • Mix on high until batter is smooth.
  • Pat dry the hot dogs and stick the thin end of a chopstick half way into the hot dog.
  • Repeat with the remaining 9.
  • When oil has reached 375 dip the dogs, one at a time into the batter, turning slowly to get a nice even coat.
  • Hold the hot dog up by the stick and let some batter drip off.
  • Quickly submerge the hot dog in the oil and spin it slowly so that the coating cooks evenly.
  • If using a pot cook 3 or 4 dogs at a time, turning with forks to evenly brown-around 5 minutes.
  • If using a deep fryer use the lid to weigh down the dogs.
  • Drain on paper towels or a rack.

CORN DOGS

Provided by Alton Brown

Categories     main-dish

Time 40m

Yield 8 corn dogs

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 gallon peanut oil
1 cup yellow cornmeal
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
2 tablespoons (approximately 1 large) jalapeno pepper, seeded and finely minced
1 (8.5-ounce) can cream-style corn
1/3 cup finely grated onion
1 1/2 cups buttermilk
4 tablespoons cornstarch, for dredging
8 beef hot dogs

Steps:

  • Special equipment: 8 sets chopsticks, not separated
  • Pour oil into a deep fryer or large heavy pot and heat to 375 degrees F. In a medium mixing bowl, combine the cornmeal, flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda, and cayenne pepper. 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.

Provided by Tikeyah Whittle

Categories     Lunch

Time 30m

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

canola oil, for frying
kosher salt, for boiling
1 ½ lb russet potato, peeled and cut into 1/4 in (6mm)
2 tablespoons all purpose flour
2 cups all purpose flour
3 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
½ teaspoon kosher salt
1 cup whole milk, plus 3 tablespoons
1 large egg, beaten
6 all-beef hot dogs, halved crosswise
2 shredded low moisture mozzarella cheeses, 8 ounce (225 g) blocks
2 cups panko breadcrumbs
2 cups korean rice puffs
¼ cup granulated sugar, for sprinkling
yellow mustard
12 wooden skewers

Steps:

  • Fill a large stock pot fitted with a deep-fry thermometer with canola oil. Heat the oil over medium-high heat until the temperature reaches 350°F (180°C). Reduce the heat to medium to maintain the temperature. Set a wire rack over a baking sheet and place it nearby.
  • Prepare the potatoes: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the potatoes and blanch for 2 minutes, then drain and transfer to a medium bowl. Let cool to room temperature, 15-20 minutes. Once cooled, sprinkle the flour over the potatoes and toss until well coated, shaking off and discarding any excess.
  • Make the batter: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. In a 2-cup liquid measuring cup, whisk together 1 cup of milk and the egg until well combined. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and whisk until combined. The batter should be fairly thick; if it is too thick to whisk, add more milk, 1 tablespoon at a time. Transfer the batter to a pint glass or another tall, narrow container. Refrigerate until ready to use.
  • Thread each hot dog half onto the pointy end of a skewer, cut-side up, pushing down to about 2 inches below the tip. Thread the mozzarella rectangles onto the skewers above the hot dogs so they are flush with the cut ends of the hot dogs and the tips of the skewers.
  • Add the panko, floured potatoes, and rice puffs to individual plates or small trays.
  • Working one at a time, dip a cheese and hot dog skewer into the cup with the batter, coating completely. Gently shake off any excess batter.
  • For the original dogs: Roll a battered dog in the panko bread crumbs until well coated, using your fingers to pack on the bread crumbs as needed.
  • For the potato dogs: Roll a battered dog in the floured potatoes, using your hands to pack on the potatoes to ensure they stick. Immediately roll the potato-coated dog in the panko bread crumbs until completely coated.
  • For the crispy rice dogs: Roll a battered dog in rice puffs until completely coated, using your fingers to pack on the puffs as needed.
  • Place the coated dogs in the hot oil, 2-3 at a time, and fry for 2-3 minutes, until golden brown and crispy, using tongs to turn as needed. Transfer to the wire rack and sprinkle all over with sugar (use tongs when turning; the sticks will be very hot). Repeat with the remaining corn dogs to make 4 of each kind.
  • To serve, drizzle ketchup and mustard over the corn dogs.
  • Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Use fresh cornmeal for the best flavor and texture.
  • If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of vinegar or lemon juice to 1 cup of milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes.
  • Be careful not to overmix the batter, as this will make the corn dogs tough.
  • Use hot oil for frying the corn dogs, as this will help them cook evenly and prevent them from sticking to the pan.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when frying the corn dogs, as this will cause the oil temperature to drop and the corn dogs will not cook properly.
  • Serve the corn dogs hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
