ALL AMERICAN CORN DOGS



All American Corn Dogs image

I don't often deep fry food at home, but these are so worth it! These are a staple at fairs and theme parks across America. You could use an 8oz box of jiffy corn muffin mix instead of the first 6 ingredients but you probably won't find this outside of the US. A great crowd pleaser at bbq's or children's parties, hot dogs never tasted so good. . . .

Time 45m

Yield 8 corndogs, 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 20

2/3 cup all-purpose flour (plus extra for dredging)
1/2 cup yellow cornmeal (polenta)
3 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 large egg, beaten
2/3 cup milk
1 tablespoon tomato ketchup
1 tablespoon american mustard
1 teaspoon dried parsley
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon dried basil
1 teaspoon onion powder (can use 1 tbsp very finely minced fresh onion)
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional) or 1/2 teaspoon paprika (optional)
8 large hot dog sausages
8 large wooden kebab skewers
vegetable oil, for frying

Steps:

  • First of all make the batter mix using all of the ingredients listed apart from the hot dogs, skewers, vegetable oil and extra flour for dredging. Its best to mix all of the dry ingredients thoroughly in a bowl first, mix the wet ingredients separately and then add to the dry ingredients mixing well. Pour the batter into a large jug.
  • Now put the extra flour with some salt and pepper onto a large plate and dredge the hot dog sausages through this, shaking off any excess. This helps the batter stick to the hot dogs.
  • Heat the oil in a large wide pan to a constant 350°F If you don't have a thermometer, a cube of bread should brown in no less than 2 minutes and no more than 4 minutes at this temperature (before you do this you might want to check that your hot dogs and skewers will fit).
  • Insert the skewers just over half way up the dogs, dip into the jug of batter, allowing most of the excess to drain off and fry lengthways, 2 at a time, for about 4 minutes or until golden brown.
  • Drain on kitchen towels and serve on the skewer with American mustard and tomato ketchup.
  • These are really special, allow for more than 1 each, I figure if you're taking the time to make these, you may as well make a feast of it.

Categories     main-dish

Time 40m

Yield 8 corn dogs

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 gallon peanut oil
1 cup yellow cornmeal
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
2 tablespoons (approximately 1 large) jalapeno pepper, seeded and finely minced
1 (8.5-ounce) can cream-style corn
1/3 cup finely grated onion
1 1/2 cups buttermilk
4 tablespoons cornstarch, for dredging
8 beef hot dogs

Steps:

  • Special equipment: 8 sets chopsticks, not separated
  • Pour oil into a deep fryer or large heavy pot and heat to 375 degrees F. In a medium mixing bowl, combine the cornmeal, flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda, and cayenne pepper. In a separate bowl, combine the jalapeno, corn, onion, and buttermilk. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients all at once, and stir only enough times to bring the batter together; there should be lumps. Set batter aside and allow to rest for 10 minutes.
  • Scatter the cornstarch into a dry pie pan. Roll each hot dog in the cornstarch and tap well to remove any excess.
  • Transfer enough batter to almost fill a large drinking glass. Refill the glass as needed. Place each hot dog on chopsticks, and quickly dip in and out of the batter. Immediately and carefully place each hot dog into the oil, and cook until coating is golden brown, about 4 to 5 minutes. With tongs, remove to cooling rack, and allow to drain for 3 to 5 minutes.

CORN DOGS

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 quarts peanut or grapeseed oil, for frying
1 1/2 cups fine yellow cornmeal
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
Kosher salt
1 large egg, beaten
1 3/4 to 2 cups buttermilk
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 tablespoon honey
6 hot dogs
2 tablespoons cornstarch
Ketchup and mustard, for serving

Steps:

  • Heat the oil to 350 degrees F in a Dutch oven or large saucepan over medium heat. Line a large plate or baking sheet with paper towels; set aside. Sift together the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder and 1/4 teaspoon salt into a large bowl. Add the egg, 1 3/4 cups buttermilk, the vegetable oil and honey and stir to combine. The batter should be a little thicker than pancake batter¿it should fall off a spoon but not run off it.
  • Dry the hot dogs thoroughly with a paper towel. Insert a long wooden skewer into each hot dog, pushing it almost all the way through to the end. Sprinkle the cornstarch on a small plate and roll the hot dogs in the cornstarch until lightly dusted. Gently tap the hot dogs to remove the extra cornstarch.
  • Pour the batter into a tall drinking glass. Holding a hot dog by the skewer, dunk the hot dog straight down into the glass of batter so that it is fully immersed. Slowly pull the hot dog back out, ensuring that it is fully coated on all sides and allowing some of the excess batter to drip back into the glass. (If the batter is not adhering to the hot dog, it is too thick. Add more buttermilk, 1 tablespoon at a time, and redip the hot dog.)
  • Once coated, immediately place the battered hot dog into the oil while still holding the stick. Cook until deep golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes, turning the stick as necessary to ensure even browning. Place the cooked corn dog on the paper towels to drain. Repeat with the remaining hot dogs and batter.

Time 45m

Yield Makes 12

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 2/3 cups yellow cornmeal
1 1/3 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for hot dogs
3 tablespoons sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
4 large eggs, lightly beaten
1 1/2 cups whole milk
Vegetable or peanut oil, for frying (about 2 quarts)
12 hot dogs

Steps:

  • Whisk together cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon pepper. Stir in eggs and milk. (You will have about 5 cups batter.) Fill a large heavy pot, Dutch oven, or deep fryer with enough oil to submerge hot dogs; heat until a deep-fry thermometer reaches 360 degrees.
  • Meanwhile, pat hot dogs dry, and insert a 10-inch bamboo skewer through each lengthwise; roll in flour to coat.
  • Dip 1 hot dog into batter, turning, until completely coated; let any excess batter drip off, and wipe away extra batter using your fingers so that hot dog is coated evenly. Lower hot dog into hot oil. Immediately repeat with 2 hot dogs.
  • Cook corn dogs, turning to cook evenly, until deep golden brown, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined tray, turning to blot oil. Working in batches of 3, repeat with remaining hot dogs and batter.

PERFECT CORN DOGS

I haven't yet found the perfect beer batter for onion rings, but as far as corn dogs go this recipe I found was perfect the very first time. The recipe will easily make 8 dogs--perhaps more I'm not exactly sure as I only had half a package when I made it & didn't use it all.
