Description
Enjoy your crispy, cheesy corn dogs!
Ingredients
- 6 hot dogs
- 6 skewers
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese, cut into thick sticks
- 1 cup corn kernels (optional)
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup cornmeal
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- Oil for frying
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
- Ketchup or mustard (for serving)
Instructions
-
Prepare the Hot Dogs and Cheese: Insert skewers into each hot dog. Attach a stick of mozzarella next to each hot dog, securing both on the skewer. If using, press corn kernels around the cheese for extra flavor.
-
Prepare the Batter: In a large bowl, mix the flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, and salt. In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk and eggs. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until smooth.
-
Coat the Corn Dogs: Pour the batter into a tall glass for easy dipping. Dip each skewered hot dog and cheese into the batter, ensuring they are fully coated. Roll each in panko breadcrumbs until fully covered.
-
Fry the Corn Dogs: Heat oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 350°F (175°C). Carefully fry each corn dog until golden brown and crispy, about 3-5 minutes. Remove them from the oil and drain on paper towels.
-
Serve: Garnish with chopped parsley. Serve warm with ketchup or mustard.
Notes
- Ensure the oil is at the correct temperature for optimal crispiness.
- If you prefer, add spices like paprika or garlic powder to the batter for extra flavor.
- For a healthier option, bake the corn dogs in an oven preheated to 400°F (200°C) for about 15-20 minutes, turning halfway through.
