State Fair Corn Dogs
I love State Fair Corn Dogs. Pronto Pups. Foot Long Corn Dogs--whatever you want to call them! I like mine slathered with a stream of ketchup and mustard. Two would be even better!
Servings: 12 corn dogs
Calories: 198kcal
Ingredients
- 1 cup yellow cornmeal
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 4 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon dried parsley
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon seasoned salt
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 1/4 cups buttermilk
- 1 large egg beaten
- 1 teaspoon yellow mustard
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 12 each Oscar-Meyer Beef Franks bun length
- 1/2 cup cornstarch
- 6 cups peanut oil for deep fat frying
- ketchup and mustard for dipping
Instructions
- Gather all your ingredients so that you have everything close at hand on the counter or table. Pour enough peanut oil in an electric skillet or cast iron skillet to measure a little over one inch.
Prepare the Cornmeal Batter
- In a large bowl, mix together the cornmeal, all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, dried parsley, baking powder, seasoned salt, and onion powder.
- Add to this the buttermilk, large egg, and yellow mustard. Mix well. Pour mixture into a tall glass for dipping.
Prepare the Beef Franks
- For best results, pat dry the franks with a paper towel to remove excess moisture from them. Coat franks with a thin layer of cornstarch to help batter stick to the franks.
- Skewer the beef franks with wooden skewers.
- Dip the franks in the cornmeal mixture, using a twisting motion as you raise it up. Allow some batter to drip off.
- Preheat the peanut oil in the electric skillet or cast iron skillet to 375℉, using a digital meat thermometer. Cook until golden brown on both sides, (about 2 minutes on each side). Turn and remove using long-handled tongs.
- Drain the corn dogs on paper towels.To serve, dip the corn dogs in ketchup and/or mustard. This recipe will make 12 corn dogs.
Notes
* Corn dogs may be frozen in freezer bags to be reheated later. To reheat, place frozen corn dogs on a baking sheet and bake in 375°F oven for 15-18 minutes until centers are hot.
