Homemade Corn Dogs

So to celebrate our 3 year anniversary in May my husband and I had a carnival theme anniversary celebration! I was bummed to find out later that I could have made my own corn dogs. :( Oh well it was fun making these with my mom later though. It's always great to have an extra pair of hands in the kitchen when you need them. Especially veteran ones. :) I panicked cause at first the batter would not stay on the hot dogs but my mom was able to get it to stick and that is why some look better then others in the picture above. They all tastes great none the less. Bon Appetit!

• 1 cup of flour
• 2/3 cup corn meal
• 2 tbsp. sugar
• 1 tsp. baking powder
• 1/4 tsp. baking soda
• 1/4 tsp. dry mustard
• 1/4 tsp. cayenne
• 1 tsp. kosher salt
• 3.4 cup milk
• 1/4 cup buttermilk
• 1 egg lightly beaten
• Canola Oil for frying
• 8 hot dogs of your choice
• skewers

In a large bowl gather all of your dry ingredients together. Now add milk, buttermilk and egg, and whisk until smooth; now set aside. Pour oil about two inches deep into pan and wait until it reads 350 degrees before using. Skewer hot dog, dip into batter and then dip into the pan for about 3 minutes until golden brown. We didn't have skewers so we just used tongs to dip into the batter and lower into the pan. Another great idea would be to make little tiny ones for parties for kids or just for anytime in general. :) Once you've pulled out the corn dogs place them on a plate lined with paper towel to soak up the excess oil. When ready distribute to the lucky food tasters with sauce of their liking. :) Enjoy!
