Homemade Corn Dogs

Homemade Corn Dogs

I love the corn dogs you buy at carnivals but wanted to make them at home so I created this easy batter for frankfurters. Great served with mustard.

Ingredients :

• 1 cup yellow cornmeal
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• ¼ cup white sugar
• 4 teaspoons baking powder
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• ⅛ teaspoon black pepper
• 1 cup milk
• 1 egg
• 1 quart vegetable oil for frying
• 2 (16 ounce) packages beef frankfurters
• wooden skewers

Directions

1. Combine cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and pepper in a medium bowl; stir in milk and egg to make a batter.
2. Heat oil in a deep fryer or large saucepan to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
3. Meanwhile, pat frankfurters dry and insert a skewer into each one.
4. Roll frankfurters in batter until well coated.
5. Fry 2 or 3 corn dogs at a time in preheated oil until lightly browned, about 3 minutes.
