Ingredients

Dry ingredients

• 1 cup all purpose flour
• 1 cup yellow corn meal
• 3 tablepsoons sugar
• 1 and 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon baking soda

Wet ingredients

• 1 egg, lightly beaten
• 1/2 cup plain greek yogurt
• 1 cup milk

Additional ingredients

• 8 hot dogs, each sliced into 8 pieces
• 1/4 cup all purpose flour
• vegetable or corn oil for frying

Instructions

1. Pour vegetable or corn oil into a dutch oven or large saucepan, until it comes to about 2-inches in height. Place pan over medium-high heat. Make corn dog batter while the oil in heating. 

2. Whisk all dry ingredients in a large bowl and all wet ingredients in a small bowl. Add wet into dry and whisk to get a thick batter, set aside. 

3. Add the sliced hot dogs and 1/4 cup all purpose flour into a large gallon sized bag, seal and shake it up. 

4. Working in batches, remove about 1/4th sliced hot dogs into the batter and toss to coat well. Using a fork (this will help in draining off excess batter), remove each hot dog piece into the moderately hot oil and deep fry for about 3 minutes ( turning the corn dogs once or twice to brown on all sides). Drain on paper towel lined plate. 

   Repeat process to cook all corn dog bites.

5. Serve corn dog bites hot/warm/room temperature with ketchup and/or yellow mustard. 

Recipe Notes

Substitute 1 and 1/2 cups buttermilk instead of greek yogurt and milk. 

To freeze corn dog bites - 

Cook and cool corn dog bites. Freeze them in a ziplock bag for up to a month. 

To thaw -
