State Fair Corn Dogs

State Fair Corn Dogs

8 servings

Ingredients

  • 1 cup yellow cornmeal
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 4 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 quart oil for frying
  • 16 ounce package hot dogs
  • flour for dusting
  • wooden skewers

Directions

  1. 1

    In a medium bowl combine the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Stir in eggs and milk.

  2. 2

    Preheat oil in a fryer or deep saucepan until it reaches 375°F. Insert wooden skewers into one end of the hot dog, leaving enough of the skewer to hold onto.

  3. 3

    Place about 1/4 cup of flour in a pie plate or zip-top bag and roll the hot dogs in flour to coat. Shake off excess flour. Put the cornmeal mixture in a tall glass and dip the hot dogs into the batter, coating well. Let excess batter drip back into the cup.

  4. 4

    Fry 2-3 corn dogs at a time until lightly browned, about 3 minutes. Flip if necessary to get even browning.

  5. 5

    To serve, dip in ketchup, mustard - or your favorite condiments!
