<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
1 cup yellow cornmeal
\n1 cup flour
\n1\/4 teaspoon salt
\n1\/8 teaspoon black pepper
\n1\/4 cup sugar
\n4 teaspoons baking powder
\n1 egg
\n1 cup milk
\n1 quart vegetable oil
\n16 hot dogs
\n16 wooden skewers<\/p>\n
In a deep pan, Heat the oil to 350F.<\/p>\n
In a bowl, mix cornmeal, flour, salt, pepper, sugar and baking powder – don’t over mix. In a second bowl, beat the egg, and then add in the milk.\u00a0 Add to the cornmeal mixture.<\/p>\n
Soak the skewers for about 10 minutes in hot water. Insert these into the hot dogs. Dip into the batter and immediately place in the hot oil. Cook about 7-10 minutes. Set aside to drain, and continue cooking until all the hot dogs have been fried. To keep warm, put these in a warm oven – 275F.<\/p>\n
Notes:<\/strong><\/p>\n Use good hot dogs – the type you really like. I like Nathans brand myself.<\/p>\n Add 1 tsp. cayenne pepper to the batter mix. or Add 2 jalape\u00f1o peppers (finely chopped) to batter.<\/p>\n The temp and cooking time vary – some recipes I?’ve seen have it set at 360 for 6-8 minutes, or 375 for 4-5 minutes. Try different temps and what works best for you.<\/p>\n These freeze well. Once cooled, store in a plastic bag. To re-heat, heat the oven to 400F, and cook for 10 minutes, or until hot. These don’t microwave well – they get soggy.<\/p>\n Alton suggests, when making his recipe, to put the batter into a tall glass, and dipping the hot dogs into that. It does work, and is a bit less messy.<\/p>\n Old Fashioned Carnival Corn Dogs 1 cup yellow cornmeal 1 cup flour 1\/4 teaspoon salt 1\/8 teaspoon black pepper 1\/4 cup sugar 4 teaspoons baking powder 1 egg 1 cup milk 1 quart vegetable oil 16 hot dogs 16 wooden … Continue reading ![\"upchili2.jpg\"](\"http:\/\/thisfoodthing.files.wordpress.com\/2007\/08\/upchili2.jpg\")
