| CORN DOGS 2 cups flour ¼ cup sugar 3 teaspoons baking powder 2 teaspoons salt 1 1/3 cup corn meal 4 tablespoons oil 2 eggs 1 ½ cups milk Sift dry ingredients together and add liquid and eggs. Mix with electric mixer until smooth. The batter should be thick enough to coat the frankfurter about ¼ inch thick on all sides. If the batter seems too thin or thick you can add more or less milk. Dip frankfurter into batter and deep fry in four or five inches of vegetable oil that has been heated to 375 degrees. This usually takes for 4 to 5 minutes. Recipe will coat about 3 dozen franks. Note: If you don’t have a thermometer you can test a few drops of batter in the oil. If it sinks to the bottom and doesn’t bubble or raise to the top the temperature is not hot enough. If the batter swells up and browns immediately it is too hot. Find a happy medium and be careful. Never heat the oil so hot it smokes. Special Note: Keep the pan used for frying on the burner farthest away from you. All pot handles should be turned away to avoid accidental spills. Remove all children out of the kitchen area when you are using a deep fryer. Kids are curious and extremely quick and it‘s never worth the risk. |
