29 Jun MINI CORN DOGS

INGREDIENTS:

6 hot dogs cut in half

12 lollipop sticks

vegetable oil for frying

FOR BATTER:

1/2 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 cup cornmeal

2 tbsp sugar

2 tsp baking powder

3/4 cup soy milk

1/4 tsp salt or to taste

1/4 tsp pepper or to taste

DIRECTIONS:

In a large Dutch oven, pour the vegetable oil to a depth of 4 inches. Heat the oil to 350 degrees F. Stick each half hot dog onto the lollipop sticks. You can use wooden skewers as well. In a bowl, combine all the batter ingredients and whisk. I found it easier to pour the batter in a long glass. Dip each hot dog into the cornmeal batter to completely cover the hot dog. Carefully place the hot dogs into the hot oil. Fry until golden brown, about 2 or 3 minutes. Drain on paper towels. I fried about 2 or 3 at a time. Repeat with remaining hot dogs and batter.
