Ingredients
Scale
- 14 oz. cocktail wieners (~25 wieners)
- 4 oz. cheddar cheese
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup medium grind yellow cornmeal
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup milk (any kind)
- Oil for frying
- Toothpicks
Instructions
- Cut each wiener in half lengthwise without cutting all the way through. Set aside.
- Cut the cheddar cheese into thick slices about ½ inch long and ⅛ inch thick.
- Place a piece of cheese inside each wiener and secure it with a toothpick. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, mix the flour, cornmeal, baking powder, sugar, salt, eggs, and milk until combined. Set aside.
- Heat about 2 inches of oil in a deep pot over medium heat until it reaches 325-350℉.
- While the oil is heating, dip the wieners in the batter, letting any excess batter drip off.
- Carefully place them in the hot oil. Make sure not to overcrowd the pot. Fry for 1-2 minutes until golden.
- Remove from oil and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
- Continue frying in batches until all corn dogs are cooked. Adjust the oil temperature as needed.
- Serve with ketchup and mustard for dipping.
