Summer break is around the corner and that means that you’ll need snacks in your home for your family. Instead of ordering take out or having candy accessible all of the time, how about some homemade miniature corn dogs? These are so simple to make and they have some great flavor!
Homemade Miniature Corn Dogs
Ingredients:
- 3/4 cups yellow cornmeal
- 3/4 cups flour
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1 egg
- 2 tbsp honey
- 3/4 cup milk
- splash of lemon juice
- 2 tsp vegetable oil, plus more for frying
- Miniature hot dogs (or regular hot dogs cut into halves)
Instructions:
In a large, deep saucepan, pot or dutch oven, pour oil and bring to 350.
In a mixing bowl, mix the cornmeal, flour, sugar, salt and baking powder.
Add the egg, honey, milk, lemon juice, and vegetable oil.
Stir until combined. Let it sit for a few minutes.
Pat dry your hotdogs. If you are using full size hotdogs, cut them in half.
Coat the hotdogs in your cornmeal mixture and drop into the oil.
Cook for a few minutes, trning with tongs to ensure that it evenly browns. When they are golden brown, remove and transfer to a paper towel lined plate.
These freeze really well too!
Make a batch this weekend and get them in the freezer for when your family needs a quick snack or meal. Corn dogs are a great snack but the processed ones do not taste as good as these! You’re going to love them and never buy the frozen ones again!
