Mini Corn Dogs are a great lunch or snack for kids, especially for those younger ones with little mouths and stomachs who can’t eat a whole corn dog by themselves.
Try Them As Appetizers
Serve these at your next party or get-together. We usually serve these with different dipping sauces, like Ranch Dressing, Ketchup, BBQ sauce, and Honey Mustard. At one of our parties a guest asked it we had some cocktail sauce that he could dip them into. Hmmm... I said. I think we do. So I filled a small bowl with some cocktail sauce and tried it for myself. Not too bad but I prefer the Ranch Dressing.
You could also use cooked breakfast sausage instead of cocktail wieners and serve them for breakfast or brunch.
Mini Corn Dog Recipe
Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cup of milk
- 2 eggs
- 1/4 cup of vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon of salt
- 2 table spoons of sugar
- 1 1/3 cups of yellow cornmeal
- 2 teaspoons of baking powder
- 1/2 cup of All-Purpose flour
- 1 Package of cocktail wieners
- Oil for deep frying
- Toothpicks
Preparation:
Put 2 inches of oil in a large frying pan and heat it up to 375 degrees.
Combine the Oil, Milk, Eggs, Sugar, and Salt in a large bowl. Mix well, and make sure there are no lumps in your batter
Sprinkle in the Baking Powder, Cornmeal, and all-purpose Flour and continue to blend together.
Dust the hot dogs with some flour, but not too much! Only enough so that the cornmeal batter will stick to the wieners.
Stick a toothpick into each wiener
Your oil should be hot enough by the time you are finished with the batter
Grab the wiener by the toothpick and dip it into the batter, then quickly put it into the oil. (be careful, don't let the hot grease spatter on you)
Try just one first to see if it cooks properly. The end result should be a mini corn dog with a golden brown color.
Try not to put too many in at once or they will stick together
Remove from the oil with a metal slotted spoon.
