A Plus Fair Corn Dogs Recipe

Ingredients

• 1 quart vegetable oil for deep frying
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• cup yellow cornmeal
• cup white sugar
• 1 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons bacon drippings
• 1 cups buttermilk
• 1 large egg, beaten
• teaspoon baking soda
• 2 pounds hot dogs
• Wooden skewers as needed

Directions

Step 1: Heat oil in a deep fryer to 365F (185C).

Step 2: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Stir in the bacon drippings.

Step 3: Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients. Add buttermilk, egg, and baking soda into the well, then stir until the mixture is smooth and well combined.

Step 4: Pat the hot dogs dry with paper towels. Insert wooden skewers into the hot dogs, ensuring they are secure.

Step 5: Dip each hot dog into the buttermilk batter one at a time, shaking off any excess batter.

Step 6: Deep fry the battered hot dogs in hot oil in batches, frying until they are deep golden brown. This should take a few minutes for each batch.

Step 7: Once fried, drain the hot dogs on paper towels to remove excess oil. Alternatively, you can serve them on paper plates.
