HOMEMADE CORN DOGS OR CHEESE ON A STICK

Steps:

• 1. In a large bowl combine the buttermilk, eggs, oil, sugar and salt. Mix it very well. Sprinkle in the baking powder, corn meal and flour. Stir it all up to make a slightly thick batter.
• 2. Take your hot dogs and dry them off on paper towels. Dust the hot dogs with flour, coating them completely. The cornmeal batter won't stick to the hot dogs unless they are coated in flour. The batter just slides right off of the dogs' naturally slick outsides. Insert popsicle sticks into the flour coated hot dogs. Set the hot dogs aside.
• 3. While you are coating the hot dogs you can heat the oil. You want the temperature to be about 375°. Allow the oil to preheat so it is almost smoking by the time you are ready to add the corn dogs.
• 4. Now, to coat the floured hot dogs with batter. Scoop some of your corn meal batter into a narrow jar or glass which is as tall as your hot dogs are long. Fill the jar or cup about 3/4 of the way full with batter. Dip your hot dog into the batter while you hold onto the stick. Swirl the hot dog to coat it evenly. Be careful or the batter will overflow. Raise the wiener above the cup and let any excess batter drip off. Quickly place the battered dog into the hot oil. The fat (oil) will bubble up and cook the outside of the batter, making the corn dogs the exact same shape as the ones you buy at the store. Only fry a few corn dogs at a time. If the corn dogs crowd each other they don't fry very well. I only fry 2 or 3 at a time. Turn the corn dogs when the bottom side is well browned. Use tongs to remove the cooked corn dogs from the fat (oil). Allow them to drain on paper towels. Repeat the process, coating and frying a few at a time, until all of the corn dogs are cooked.
• 5. CHEESE ON A STICK, Do the same procedure only replace the hot dog for your favorite cheese cut into cheese stick form. You can also omit the sticks and make mini corn dogs/mini cheese on stick.

Steps:

• Combine the flour and cornmeal into your large mixing bowl. Stir to combine.
• Gradually add your beaten eggs and water, until it forms a smooth batter.
• Transfer the batter to a chilled area, covered, and allow it to rest for at least an hour.
• Heat about three inches of canola oil in a deep saucepan to about 375 degrees F.
• While your oil is warming to frying temperature, begin skewering your hot dogs with skewer sticks. Insert sticks about ⅔ of the way into each hotdog.
• Get a tall glass and pour in your batter. This makes it easier to coat your hot dogs.
• Dunk each hot dog into the batter and then carefully drop each into the hot oil. Allow the batter to coat the entire hotdogs and drip any excess batter.
• Let them cook for about two to three minutes or until the outside is a deep golden brown color.
• Repeat this process for the remaining hot dogs.
• Use your tongs to get your hot dogs off the deep saucepan. Make sure to strain out the remaining oils before serving.
