Yield 24 servings (2 franks per serving)

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 quarts neutral frying oil
One 12-ounce can smoked cocktail franks, such as Hillshire Farms
One 8.5-ounce box corn muffin mix, such as Jiffy
1/2 cup reduced-fat buttermilk
1 large egg
1/4 cup hot pepper jelly, melted
1/4 cup yellow mustard
1/4 cup ketchup

  • Insert a toothpick lengthwise into the center of each cocktail frank, leaving about 1/2 inch of toothpick exposed.
  • Mix together the corn muffin mix, buttermilk and egg in a medium bowl to make a batter. Pour the batter into a small cup to make it easier to dip the franks.

Drain and place onto a cooling rack over a baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining franks and batter. Let cool slightly.
  • For the sweet and spicy mustard: Whisk together the hot pepper jelly and mustard in a small bowl.
  • For the fry sauce: Whisk together the ketchup, mustard and Worcestershire sauce in a small bowl.
  • Serve the corndogs with the sauces.

Time 30m

Yield Makes 24 mini corn dogs

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup yellow cornmeal
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 cup sugar
3 teaspoons baking powder
2 large eggs
1 cup milk
4 cups (1 quart) vegetable oil, for frying
One 16-ounce package cocktail-sized beef frankfurters
Cornstarch, for dusting

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl, combine cornmeal, flour, salt, pepper, sugar, and baking powder. In a separate bowl, gently whisk the eggs with the milk and stir into the dry mix.
  • Preheat the oil in a Dutch oven, deep saucepot or mini fryer to 350 degrees F.

Saw this recipe on Food Network a few years ago, has been a hit in our family ever since! Made a few minor modifications (tooth picks instead of meat skewers, and cut the hot dog dogs myself instead of cocktail franks.) We love mustard so haven't actually tried the relish yet, so give it a try and let me know how it is! The...

Tips:

  • Use high-quality hot dogs: The quality of the hot dogs will make a big difference in the final product. Look for hot dogs that are made with all-natural ingredients and have a good meat-to-fat ratio.
  • Make sure the hot dogs are cold: Cold hot dogs will hold their shape better when they are cooked. If the hot dogs are too warm, they will start to fall apart when you try to coat them with the batter.
  • Use a good quality cornmeal mix: The cornmeal mix is what gives the corn dogs their signature flavor. Look for a cornmeal mix that is made with fine-ground cornmeal and has a good amount of sugar and salt.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make it tough. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Cook the corn dogs until they are golden brown: The corn dogs should be cooked until they are golden brown on all sides. This will ensure that they are cooked through and have a crispy coating.

Conclusion:

Mini corn dogs are a delicious and easy-to-make snack or appetizer. They are perfect for parties, picnics, or just a quick snack. With the right ingredients and a little bit of care, you can make mini corn dogs that are crispy, flavorful, and irresistible.
