Apr. 29, 2008 - Yummy Recipe- Homemade Corn Dogs
I was asked for the recipe for homemade corn dogs. I have to say, this comes from the neatest recipe book : Make-a-Mix
This book is great for me because I like to cook from a mix, but I am trying to be more health conscious and more frugal and buy less-processed foods. So, now I can make my own mixes and then I can use them for easy cooking.
This recipe starts with Corn Bread Mix:
4 cups all purpose flour
4 cups yeallow cornmeal
2 cups instant nonfat milk powder or dry buttermilk powder
2/3 cup granulated sugar
4 tablespoons baking powder
1 tablespoon salt
1 tablespoon baking soda
This makes a LARGE mix of about 10 cups. It can be used to make corn bread:
Combine 1 egg
1/2 cup water
2 tablespoons melted butter
1 1/4 cups mix
Or corn dogs:
1/4 cup corn bread mix
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/8 teaspoon dry mustard (I leave this out)
pinch of paprika
1 egg slightly beaten
1 tablespoon water
Heat oil in a deep fryer or about 2-3 inches in a suacepan. Dry four hotdogs with paper towels. In a pie plate, combine the dry ingredients, then stir in egg and water to make a stiff batter. Roll the hotdogs in batter and use tongs to place them in the hot oil. Turning once, fry until golden brown, 2-3 minutes.
This makes enough batter for four hotdogs. I usually double and fix eight for my crew. Sometimes I stick kabob sticks in them for a holder. :-)
These are a favorite with my kiddos (and I like them too.)

They aren't the healthiest thing in the world, but I figure if I make them at home, at least I know what is going into them and they are not so processed.
And it is alot cheaper than going to Sonic- which is my personal favorite place to get a good corndog. :-)
