Corn Dogs for Summer!
With Major League Baseball season officially kicked off, I say we celebrate with ballpark food for the big game. Who’s ready to rock a ponytail, wear a team baseball cap and head-out to the Ball Game with me? First stop, the concession stand to get a game-day Corn Dog! I don’t know about you, but there is something about a baseball game that has me heading straight to the concession stand for a piping hot Corn Dog. Same song, second verse, the same goes when I’m at the State Fair. 🙂 Notice a pattern? Truth = certain events call for Corn Dogs. The good news is, with this recipe, you don’t have to wait for a major sporting event or the State Fair to enjoy one. Not only can you make your own at home, homemade will taste much better, too! But, before I share this easy make-at-home recipe, I have a question for you: What’s your go-to food when you go to the game?
It’s clear that mine is definitely a Corn Dog, and it must be slathered in yellow mustard. I just love the tangy bite that mustard brings when sinking my teeth into a crispy Corn Dog with a soft center.
How to make Corn Dogs:
To whip up a perfectly golden batch of Corn Dogs to munch on, while watching the game at home, couldn’t be easier. In less than 15 to 20 minutes, you can mix the batter, dip and coat the Corn Dogs and gently drop them into hot oil until golden brown. With just a few turns to cook all sides, they’ll turn a nice golden brown. Then, remove them using tongs, and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Then, they’re ready to serve. What you will also love about this recipe is, it makes a fast and easy weeknight meal.
Tips for making corn dogs:
After removing hot dogs from the packaging, dry them with paper towels to remove any moisture; this will help the batter adhere to the hot dog. The consistency of your batter should be relatively thick, but pourable. Once you’ve achieved the right consistency, pour the batter into a tall glass, like a Collins glass. This method makes the Corn Dogs really easy to dip and get an even coating on all sides. Use 6-inch skewers, which is enough skewer to insert 3-inches into the hot dog and leave 3-inches for the handle.
Enjoy!
