Mini panini per hot dog

Ingredienti

• 4 medium Chicken hotdogs
• 1 cup All purpose flour
• 2 teaspoon baking powder
• 2 tablespoon sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon red pepper
• 1 medium egg
• 1/2 cup milk or water
• Oil (for frying)
• 2 tablespoon mayonnaise
• 2 tablespoon ketchup
• 2 teaspoons yellow mustard
• 1 teaspoon pepper

Preparazione

1. 1

   Prep your skewers by cutting them into 3-4 parts and rinsing them. If you don’t have skewers, toothpicks work just fine!

2. 2

   Slice each hotdog into 5-6 equal pieces, then gently poke a skewer or toothpick into each hotdog piece. Repeat for all the hotdog pieces.

3. 3

   Roll each hotdog piece in a bit of flour to help the batter stick better. Shake off any excess flour and set the floured hotdog aside.

4. 4

   In a bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, sugar, salt and red pepper (if using). Stir well to mix everything evenly.

5. 5

   Make a well in the middle of the dry mixture, add in the egg and pour in the milk (or water).

6. 6

   Stir until the batter is smooth. If it’s too thick, add a little more water; if too runny, a bit more flour.

7. 7

   Heat oil in a pan over medium heat (enough oil to deep fry). To test if the oil is ready, drop in a bit of batter, it sizzles and floats, you’re good to go.

8. 8

   Dip each floured hotdog piece into the batter, making sure it’s completely covered.

9. 9

   Gently place them into the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry in batches if necessary.

10. 10

    Fry the buns for about 5-6 minutes, flipping occasionally until they’re golden brown and crispy on all sides.

11. 11

    Once golden and crispy, remove from the oil and drain on paper towels or a metal sieve.

12. 12

    Serve with your favorite sauce, dip or condiment and enjoy!

13. 13

    Please don’t forget to remove toothpicks or skewers for younger kids before serving.
