Corn Dog Minis (Print Version)

Snappy hot dog pieces get dunked in a sweet cornmeal mix and fried until golden. They’re crunchy, salty, and super poppable.

# Ingredients:

→ For Frying

01 - Enough vegetable oil for deep frying

→ Filling

02 - 10 hot dogs, each sliced into three

→ Batter

03 - 3 g salt
04 - 8 g baking powder
05 - 38 g white sugar
06 - 125 g regular flour
07 - 185 g yellow cornmeal
08 - 30 ml honey
09 - 1 big egg
10 - 415 ml buttermilk

# Steps:

01 - Dish out the warm bites and grab some ketchup or mustard if you're in the mood.
02 - Just keep dipping and frying the hot dog chunks, making sure you don’t cram too many in the pan at once.
03 - Carefully drop the battered hot dogs in the hot oil using tongs or a spoon with slots. Let them fry for 3 or 4 minutes until crispy and golden, flipping halfway. Lift them out and let the extra oil drip off on a rack or a plate lined with paper towels.
04 - Take 5 or 6 hot dog pieces at a time, dunk them in the batter until fully covered. Let that extra batter drip away.
05 - Pour the wet stuff into the bowl of dry stuff and mix it all up until you’ve got a thick, smooth batter.
06 - Get a big bowl and toss in yellow cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Give it a good whisk together.
07 - Grab a small bowl and use a whisk to stir the buttermilk, egg, and honey so it’s all even.
08 - Fill a deep skillet with about 5 centimeters of veggie oil. Put it over medium and wait until it hits 130°C.
