corndog

tonight i was feeling adventurous when it came to dinner, however my taste buds were feeling kinda like a kid. i wanted a corn dog. with tater tots. wow, the only way it could have gotten any kiddier was with a side of mac & cheese {don't get me wrong, that crossed my mind....but we had that for lunch yesterday}.
in order to justify a corn dog dinner for the hub & i, i decided to make home made corn dogs.
and let me tell you. so bomb. they were super easy to make, & oh so delicious. plus now we have plenty in a ziploc baggy in the freezer to pop in the microwave for an easy lunch on a random day in the near future......

batter recipe & instructions:

1 tbsp vinegar
about 1 cup milk
1.5 cup flour
1 cup yellow corn meal
1/4 cup sugar
2 tsps baking powder
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp baking soda
2 eggs
12-14 hot dogs {i recommend hebrew nationals!!}
popsicle sticks
1. preheat your oil in a deep fryer or large skillet to 375 degrees. you need it to be somewhat deep so the dogs can submerge themselves.
2. place the tbsp of vinegar in a measuring cup, then add enough milk to equal 1 cup. stir & let sit for 5 minutes.
3. whisk together the flour, corn meal, sugar, baking powder, salt, & baking soda in a large bowl. add milk & eggs then whisk until combined.
4. insert popsicle sticks/skewers in hot dog, dip in batter. coat hot dog well & fry in oil until golden brown. place on paper towels to soak up extra oil. enjoy.
try it, you'll be amazed.
