Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 low sodium hot dogs
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup cornmeal
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup milk
- 1 large egg
- 0.25 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 cups vegetable oil
- 8 wooden skewers
Instructions
Cut each low sodium hot dog in half and insert a wooden skewer through the cut end of each hot dog piece.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornmeal, baking powder, cayenne pepper, and black pepper.
In a separate bowl, whisk the egg and then add the milk, melted unsalted butter, and honey, mixing thoroughly.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined to form a thick batter.
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep pot over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
Dip each skewered hot dog into the batter, ensuring it is evenly coated, then carefully place it into the hot oil.
Fry in batches, turning occasionally, until the mini corn dogs are golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes.
Remove the corn dogs from the oil and place them on paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Serve warm with your choice of low sodium ketchup or mustard.
