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.

PERFECT CORN DOGS



Perfect Corn Dogs image

I haven't yet found the perfect beer batter for onion rings, but as far as corn dogs go this recipe I found was perfect the very first time. The recipe will easily make 8 dogs--perhaps more I'm not exactly sure as I only had half a package when I made it & didn't use it all.

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. .

Categories     Vegetable

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.
