how to make Homemade Mini Corndogs

Ingredients:

• 14 oz. cocktail wieners (~25 wieners)
• 4 oz. cheddar cheese
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 cup medium grind yellow cornmeal
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 2 large eggs
• 1 cup milk (any kind)
• Oil for frying
• Toothpicks

Directions:

1. Cut each wiener in half lengthwise without cutting all the way through. Set aside.
2. Cut the cheddar cheese into thick slices, about ½ inch long and ⅛ inch thick.
3. Place a piece of cheese into each wiener and secure it with a toothpick. Set aside.
4. In a large bowl, mix together the flour, cornmeal, baking powder, sugar, salt, eggs, and milk. Stir well and set aside.
5. Heat about 2 inches of oil in a deep pot over medium heat until it reaches 325-350℉.
6. While the oil heats, dip the wieners into the batter, allowing any extra batter to drip off.
7. Carefully place them in the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pot. Fry for 1-2 minutes or until golden brown.
8. Remove from the oil and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
9. Continue frying in batches until all the Mini Corndogs are cooked. Adjust the oil temperature as needed.
10. Serve with ketchup and mustard.
