Ingredients
Dry ingredients
- 1 cup all purpose flour
- 1 cup yellow corn meal
- 3 tablepsoons sugar
- 1 and ½ teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon baking soda
Wet ingredients
- 1 egg, lightly beaten
- ½ cup plain greek yogurt
- 1 cup milk
Additional ingredients
- 8 hot dogs, each sliced into 8 pieces
- ¼ cup all purpose flour
- vegetable or corn oil for frying
Instructions
- 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.
- 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.
- Add the sliced hot dogs and ¼ cup all purpose flour into a large gallon sized bag, seal and shake it up.
- Working in batches, remove about ¼th 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.
- Serve corn dog bites hot/warm/room temperature with ketchup and/or yellow mustard.
Notes
Substitute 1 and ½ cups buttermilk instead of greek yogurt and milk.
