Homemade Corndogs
Ingredients
1 pack of your favorite hotdogs
1 box Jiffy Cornmeal mix
8 disposal chopsticks or saved corndog sticks
Directions
- Thicken the cornbread by adding the liquid (usually milk or buttermilk) a little at a time until you have a very thick pancake batter consistency.
- Pour it into a tall drinking glass.
- Heat a pot of oil or your deep fryer to about 375°F.
- Skewer your favorite, juicy beefy hot dog with a disposable stick, pat it dry then dip it into the drinking glass, turning to coat completely. If you find the coating isn't sticking to the hotdog, you can roll the hotdog in flour, first.
- Immediately place battered weiner into the hot oil, turning as necessary to brown all sides evenly. It will only take a few minutes for the corn bread to cook and brown.
- Remove and drain on paper towels.
You can usually make 16-20 corndogs with 1 pack of jiffy mix but if you only use one pack of hotdogs, you can refrigerate the leftover mix.
The breakdown cost is roughly $0.30/each. These are great when put in the freezer. Just let them cool after cooking, then separate them with wax paper and freeze. Pop them in a 400 degree oven for 20 minutes and you have a great snack or meal!
