Homemade Corn Dogs



It has been way too long since I've been to the state fair and it has been that long since I've had a corn dog.

Once I saw this recipe at Mika's Pantry, I had to post it so we can enjoy one of my favorite things at home!

Don't corn dogs conjure up childhood memories of the state fair?





Ingredients

1 1/2 cups flour
2/3 cups sugar
1/2 cup cornmeal
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/4 cups milk
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
1/3 cup oil
3 tablespoons butter, melted
1/2 teaspoon Coleman's dry mustard
1/8 tsp. cayenne pepper
Hot Dogs of your choice
Wooden Skinny Sticks (found at Walmart craft section)
1 (48 oz) bottle of Canola Oil (for frying)


Directions

Combine flour, sugar, corn meal, baking powder, salt, dry mustard and cayenne in a medium bowl.

Combine milk, eggs, oil and butter in a small bowl and mix well.

Add milk mixture to the flour mixture and stir just until blended.

Pour bottle of oil in a dutch oven or deep fryer and begin to heat to approximately 370 degrees over medium heat.

Pour some of the cornmeal meal mixture into a tall narrow glass.

Push sticks into one end of the hot dogs leaving enough to grab the end.

Dry off hot dogs with a paper towel and dip into the glass of cornmeal mix.

Put into hot oil and turn over until it is a nice golden color. Take out and let drain on a plate covered in paper towels.

Repeat process until all the corn dogs are made putting no more than two at a time in the oil.

Hot Dogs and Sausages



July is National Hot Dog Month . . .

According to the National Hot Dog and Sausage Council an estimated seven billion hot dogs will be eaten by Americans between Memorial Day and Labor Day and during the 4th of July weekend alone 155 million will be enjoyed.

Did you know that every year Americans eat an average of 60 hot dogs each?

Council research shows that mustard is the condiment of choice for adults, while children prefer ketchup.

Preferences change from region to region . . . hot dogs in New York are generally served with a lighter mustard and steamed onions . . . Chicago hot dogs can come with mustard, relish, onions, tomato slices, or pretty much anything at all . . . I prefer mine topped with cole slaw.

For more information, visit the Council's website at www.hot-dog.org.
