Niman Ranch corn dogs frying.
I’d never eaten a corn dog before about a week ago when Geoff made them for us. Somehow the combination of hot dog and fried cornmeal ‘bun’ creates quite a taste sensation, and Madeline is always glad to eat anything that’s served on a stick. We decided to make them again tonight — although last time we made them with Oscar Meyer hot dogs, and today we went upscale with Niman Ranch.
Recipe:
1 egg, beaten
1/4 c. milk
1/4 c. Marie Callender’s cornbread mix
1/4 tsp. salt
1/2 c. whole wheat flour
1/2 tsp. baking powder
1 tbsp. sugar
Mix together all ingredients.
Heat a pot of of oil. Test the heat of the oil by dipping a drop of the batter into the oil. If it browns slowly and evenly, it’s ready. Dip each hot dog in the batter and fry until brown.
you should go “upscale” and work with a good cornmeal (Kenyons) to make a proper cornmeal batter (Alton Brown has a good guide)/
Is there any restaurants in RI that sell them?
