Ingredients
- 1 pound little smokies, or mini hot dogs
- 2/3 cup yellow cornmeal
- 1 cup flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons shortening
- 3/4 cup milk, +1 tablespoon
- 1 large egg, beaten
- Vegetable oil, for frying
- Mustard or sauce for dipping
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 200°F and place a cooling rack on a rimmed baking sheet.
- Heat about 3 inches of vegetable oil to 360 F in a deep, heavy saucepan or electric deep fryer.
- Mix cornmeal, flour, baking powder, sugar and salt together. Work the shortening into the dry ingredients with a pastry blender or fork. Add the milk and stir gently; stir in the egg until the mixture is smooth.
- Insert a toothpick into the end of each wiener, leaving about one inch of toothpick exposed.
- Dip each wiener by the toothpick into the cornmeal batter. Using a butter knife, spread the batter over the wiener so it is evenly covered.
- Gently drop the wiener into the hot oil and cook for about 3 minutes or until golden brown.
- Remove from oil and drain on paper towels. Transfer to the baking sheet with a rack and place in the oven while you fry the remaining corn dogs.
- Serve the mini corn dogs warm with yellow or honey mustard.
