STATE FAIR MINI CORN DOGS

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.

MINI CORNDOGS

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.
