Corn Dog

Corn Dog
The corn dog is a hot dog coated in batter and deep fried in oil, although some are baked. Almost all corn dogs are served on wooden sticks.


Ingredients

• 1 Cup all purpose flour
• 1 cup corn meal
• 1 egg, lightly beaten
• 1 cup milk
• 2 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp salt

• Oil for frying
• 10 hot dogs
• Long wooden sticks

Preparation
Mix all the ingredients together to a thick batter and keep aside for 5-10 minutes.Heat oil in a frying pan. Pierce the wooden sticks through one end of the hot dog, leave about an inch outside. Fill a tall glass with the batter(tall enough to submerge the hot dog). When the oil is hot dip the hot dog in the batter and deep fry for 3-4 minutes until it turns brown.

Don't worry if you have excess batter left over. This makes an excellent batter for frying vegetables. Try frying peppers, ring of onion, thin slices of raw plantains etc.You can modify the batter by adding cayenne pepper, red chilli powder etc.

Onion rings,bell pepper fry and banana fry with leftover batter....
