Ingredients

• 1 cup cornmeal
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 large egg
• 3/4 cup milk
• 12 hot dogs, cut into thirds
• Wooden skewers
• Vegetable oil, for frying

How to Make Savory Corn Dog Bites

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cornmeal, flour, baking powder, salt, and black pepper. Whisk until well mixed.
2. In a separate bowl, beat the egg and then add the milk, mixing until combined.
3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
4. Preheat a deep fryer or a heavy pot filled with about 3 inches of vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).
5. While the oil is heating, thread each piece of hot dog onto a skewer, leaving a little space at the bottom for handling.
6. Dip each hot dog skewer into the cornmeal batter, ensuring it is fully coated. Allow any excess batter to drip off.
7. Carefully place the battered hot dog into the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes, turning occasionally for even cooking.
8. Once cooked, remove the corn dog bites from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
9. Serve warm with your choice of dipping sauce.

Tips for the Best Results

• Make sure the oil is hot enough before frying to ensure a crispy exterior.
• For a thicker batter, let it sit for a few minutes before dipping the hot dogs.
• Test the oil temperature by dropping a small amount of batter into the oil. If it sizzles and rises to the surface, it’s ready.

Easy Variations

• Add spices to the batter, such as cayenne pepper for a spicy kick.
• Experiment with different types of sausages or even vegetarian hot dogs for a unique twist.
• Incorporate shredded cheese into the batter for a cheesy version.

What to Serve With It

• Classic mustard and ketchup for dipping
• Honey mustard or barbecue sauce for a sweet and tangy option
• Ranch dressing or a spicy aioli for a creamy alternative
