Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Yellow cornmeal
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened protein powder (e.g., whey or pea protein)
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 large Egg
- 1 cup Milk
- 12 each Hot dogs
- 4 cups Vegetable oil
- 12 each Wooden skewers or toothpicks
Instructions
Fill a deep pot with vegetable oil, approximately 3 to 4 inches deep, and heat to 350°F (175°C). You can use a thermometer to check the oil temperature.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, yellow cornmeal, baking powder, protein powder, granulated sugar, and salt.
In another bowl, beat the egg and mix it with the milk. Add the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until you form a smooth batter.
Pat the hot dogs dry with a paper towel to ensure the batter adheres well. Insert a wooden skewer or toothpick halfway into each hot dog.
Pour the prepared cornmeal batter into a tall glass for easy dipping.
Dip each skewered hot dog into the batter, making sure it's fully coated. Allow excess batter to drip off.
Carefully place the battered hot dogs into the hot oil. Fry in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry them for about 3 to 4 minutes or until they turn golden brown.
Use a slotted spoon to remove the mini corn dogs from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Allow the corn dogs to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy these high protein mini corn dogs on their own or with your favorite dipping sauces.
