Mini Corn Dogs

Ingredients

• 6 hot dogs (cut in half)
• 12 lollipop sticks
• vegetable oil (for frying)
• ½ cup all-purpose flour
• ½ cup cornmeal
• 2 tablespoon sugar
• 2 teaspoon baking powder
• ¾ cup milk
• ¼ teaspoon salt (or to taste)
• ¼ teaspoon pepper (or to taste)

Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the oil. In a large Dutch oven, pour the vegetable oil to a depth of 4 inches. Heat the oil to 350°F.

2. 2

   Get the hot dogs ready. Stick each half hot dog onto the lollipop sticks. You can use wooden skewers as well.

3. 3

   Prepare the corn dogs. 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.

4. 4

   Fry the corn dogs. 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.

5. 5

   Serve. Serve with ketchup and/or mustard.
