Vegetarian Corn Dogs¶

| 12 | 30 minutes |
Ingredients¶
some vegetable oil
12 vegetarian hot dogs
1.5 cups corn meal
1.25 cups all-purpose flour
0.25 cup granulated sugar
1 Tbsp baking powder
0.25 tsp salt
1.75 cups buttermilk
1 egg
1 Tbsp vegetable or olive oil
1 Tbsp honey
Cookware¶
- 1 large pot or dutch oven
- 1 drinking glass
- 1 wire rack
Instructions¶
Step 1¶
Pour 2 to 3 inches of vegetable oil in a large pot or dutch oven and heat to 350˚F over medium heat.
Step 2¶
Pat dry with paper towels. Insert sticks into vegetarian hot dogs.
Step 3¶
Whisk together corn meal, all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder and salt. Whisk together buttermilk, egg, 1 Tbsp vegetable or olive oil and honey. Combine wet and dry ingredients and whisk to combine.
Step 4¶
Pour batter into a drinking glass almost to the top and dip hot dogs. Put corndog straight down into batter and give it a little twirl to fully coat the hot dogs then swirl as you lift up. Let excess drip off.
Step 5¶
Hold corn dog at an angle in the hot oil for 5 to 7 seconds to let it seal then drop into oil (this keeps them from sticking to the bottom of the pot).
Step 6¶
Fry 3 minutes or until golden brown. Fry up to 2 to 3 at a time (so you don’t drop the temperature), turning them as needed to brown evenly. Transfer to a wire rack to cool.
