Corn Dog Recipe

Happy Fat Tuesday everyone!! In celebration of this great day, I am sharing my traditional Fat Tuesday recipe with y'all.  Every Fat Tuesday my husband and I make my corn dogs.  Not only are they delicious, and 100% NOT nutritious, but they're Amazing!  I know you'll try one bite and you're going to Love them! Have a Happy Mardi Gras!

Ingredients

2/3 C. Flour

1/4 C. Cornstarch

1/4 C. Cornmeal

1/4 C. Sugar

1 Tbs. Baking Powder

1/4 tsp. Salt

1/2 tsp. Garlic Powder

1/2 tsp. Onion Powder

1 C. Buttermilk

8 Hot Dogs

8 Thick Wooden Dowels

Soy Bean Oil (I like to go with the healthiest oil when I'm making these, but you can use what you want.)

Directions

Preheat 4 inches of oil to 350 degrees.

Mix Flour, Cornmeal, Sugar, Baking Powder, Salt, Garlic and Onion Powder, and Buttermilk together, until well incorporated into a somewhat smooth batter.

Push each wooden dowel into the hot dog at least 3/4 of the way up.  I like to leave about 3 inches sticking out of the bottom.

Put Cornstarch into a pie plate and dredge each hot dog in the cornstarch.

Then dip and heavily cover each hotdog in the cornmeal batter. Circle around to get the top to twist a bit, and place in HOT oil. 

Fry for 3-4 minutes turning over 1/2 way through cooking.

After 4 minutes or when the outside is completely nice and really golden brown, pull out and place on a paper towel until it's cooled down a bit. 

Serve with Mustard and Ketchup.  Enjoy!
