Ingredients
- 1 cup corn meal
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 Tbs sugar
- 2 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp Slap Ya Mama® seasoning
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 egg
- 1¼ cups buttermilk
- 2 Tbs vegetable oil
- 8 all beef hot dogs each cut into 3 pieces (I used Ball Park® Beef Franks)
- Cheddar cheese cut into 1/4" strips
- 2 + cups vegetable oil for frying
Instructions
- Heat about 2 cups of vegetable oil in a medium heavy bottom pan at 375°.
- For the Corn Dog Bites
- Cut each hot dog into 3 pieces, set aside.
- Cut a few slices of cheddar cheese and then slice each into about 1/4" thick and the length of each hot dog piece.
- Take a bigger size straw and poke it through the middle of each little hot dog to make a hole.
- Stuff a slice of cheddar cheese in each hot dog, the bigger the hole the better. Set aside.
- Once all pieces are stuffed with cheese, time to make the batter.
- For the Batter
- In a medium mixing bowl, whisk dry ingredients together.
- In a small bowl, mix egg, milk and oil together then add to dry ingredients. Stir until just moistened.
- Prior to dipping hot dogs into the batter, make sure to dry each one off with a paper towel.
- Next, dip each piece into the batter, covering it completely and then adding it immediately to the heated oil with a spoon.
- Cook until golden brown on all sides and then remove and place on a plate lined with paper towels. Fry about 6 at a time for even frying.
- ENJOY!
