Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 pieces Vegetarian hot dogs
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Yellow cornmeal
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 cup Milk
- 1 unit Large egg
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 4 cups Vegetable oil (for frying)
- 8 pieces Wooden skewers
Instructions
Begin by soaking the wooden skewers in water for 15 minutes to prevent burning.
Insert a wooden skewer into each vegetarian hot dog, leaving enough length for a comfortable handle. Pat the hot dogs dry with a paper towel.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, yellow cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, salt, and black pepper.
In another bowl, mix the milk, egg, and 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until smooth.
Pour the vegetable oil for frying into a large, deep pot or deep fryer and heat it to 350°F (175°C).
Transfer the corn dog batter to a tall glass for easier dipping.
Dip each skewered hot dog into the batter, ensuring it’s fully coated, and immediately place it into the hot oil.
Fry the corn dogs in batches, turning them occasionally, until they're golden brown on all sides, about 3 to 5 minutes.
Remove the corn dogs from the oil and drain on a wire rack or paper towel-lined plate.
Serve warm with your favorite condiments like ketchup or mustard.
