CLASSIC CORN DOGS AND CHEESE-ON-A-STICK

Steps:

• **USE CAUTION WHEN FRYING WITH OIL. KEEP POT ON THE BACK BURNER TO PROTECT SMALL KIDDOS**In a large bowl, combine pancake mix and cornmeal. Stir to combine. Add eggs and water, adding more water as needed for the batter to become slightly thick (but not overly gloopy.) Start out by adding 4 cups, then work your way up to 6 cups or more.Heat canola oil over medium-high heat. Drop in a bit of batter to see if it's ready: the batter should immediately start to sizzle but should not immediately brown/burn. Insert sticks into hot dogs so that they're 2/3 of the way through. Do the same with the cheese sticks.Dip the hot dogs into the batter and allow excess to drip off for a couple of seconds. Carefully drop into the oil (stick and all) and use tongs or a spoon to make sure it doesn't hit the bottom of the pan and stick. Flip it here and there to ensure even browning, and remove it from the oil when the outside is deep golden brown, about 2 to 3 minutes. Repeat with cheese, allowing it to get as golden as possible so that cheese will melt completely.Serve with spicy mustard.

HOT DOG ON A STICK® CLONE

Steps:

• Preheat oil in a deep pan or fryer to 375 degrees.
• Combine the flour, cornmeal, sugar, salt, and baking soda in a large bowl.
• Add the milk and egg yolks to the dry ingredients and mix with an electric mixer on high speed until batter is smooth.
• Dry off the hot dogs with a paper towel.
• Jab the thin end of a single chopstick about halfway into the end of each hot dog.
• When the oil is hot, tip the bowl of batter so that you can completely coat each hot dog. Roll the hot dog in the batter until it is entirely covered.
• Hold the hot dog up by the stick and let some of the batter drip off. Quickly submerge the hot dog in the oil and spin it slowly so that the coating cooks evenly. After about 20 seconds you can use a lid to the deep fryer or pan to put weight on the stick, keeping the hot dog fully immersed in the oil. You can cook a couple dogs at a time this way.
• Cook for 5 to 6 minutes or until coating is dark brown. Turn them once or twice as they cook.
• Drain on paper towels while cooling, and repeat with remaining hot dogs.
