Ingredients
For the Corn Dogs:
- 8 Grimm’s Sizzlin’ Wieners
- 8 sticks
- Vegetable oil for frying
For the batter:
- 1 ¼ cup fine yellow cornmeal
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tbsp granulated sugar
- 2 tsp baking powder
- ¼ tsp salt
- 1 ½ cups buttermilk
- 1 medium egg
- 2 tsp honey
- 2 tsp vegetable or olive oil
Preparation
- Pour 2-3 inches of oil into a large pot or dutch oven and heat to 350˚F over medium heat.
- Pat the wieners thoroughly dry with paper towels and insert sticks into hot dogs.
- Whisk together dry ingredients (cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder and salt) and set aside.
- Whisk together wet ingredients (buttermilk, egg, 1 Tbsp oil and honey).
- Combine wet and dry ingredients and whisk to combine.
- Pour the batter into a drinking glass almost to the top and dip the wieners in one by one. Put the corndog straight down into the batter and give it a little twirl to fully coat the wiener then swirl as you lift. Let excess drip off.
- Hold corn dog at an angle in the hot oil for 5-7 seconds to let it seal then drop into oil (this keeps them from sticking to the bottom of the pot).
- Fry for 3 minutes or until golden brown. Fry up to 2-3 at a time (you don’t drop the temperature), turning them as needed to brown evenly. Transfer to a wire rack to cool.
- Allow to cool slightly then serve with ketchup and mustard.
