STATE FAIR MINI CORN DOGS
After reading several other corn dog recipes on here I couldn't find one that was really what I was looking for and took what I had around the house. I went into experiment mode and this is what I came up with. They are very similar in taste to the state fair corn dogs that come in the box. I used ballpark all beef franks. My toddlers DEVOURED. I kept the recipe small, since it was an experiment.

Steps:
- Heat oil to 375F.
- Get out 4 thawed hot dogs and lay on paper towels to dry.
- Combine all dry ingredients and blend well.
- Stir in Milk.
- Add just enough water so that it sticks well to the spoon without running off.
- Finish patting dry the hot dogs
- I cut my hot dogs into thirds and make bite size corn dogs.
- Take a paper sucker stick, put it into one side of the hot dog, dip it into the bowl of batter and spoon batter over to evenly coat.
- Put it into the deep fryer, using another stick to push it off of the other
- I suggest holding it up a little bit with the stick if you are using a deep fryer with a basket, this will allow the bottom to begin cooking before it gets caught in the basket.
- Fry until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Let cool on paper towels to remove excess oil.
- Prep time does not include the amount of time it takes individual deep fryers to heat up.

Steps:
- For the corndogs: Pour the oil into a Dutch oven fitted with a deep-fry thermometer. Place over medium-high heat and preheat to 375 degrees F.
- Insert a toothpick lengthwise into the center of each cocktail frank, leaving about 1/2 inch of toothpick exposed.
- Mix together the corn muffin mix, buttermilk and egg in a medium bowl to make a batter. Pour the batter into a small cup to make it easier to dip the franks.
- In batches, hold onto the toothpick and dip a frank into the batter. Slowly turn until the frank is evenly coated. Drop into the hot oil and fry until golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Drain and place onto a cooling rack over a baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining franks and batter. Let cool slightly.
- For the sweet and spicy mustard: Whisk together the hot pepper jelly and mustard in a small bowl.
- For the fry sauce: Whisk together the ketchup, mustard and Worcestershire sauce in a small bowl.
- Serve the corndogs with the sauces.
