Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 3-5 minutes
Yield: 12 corndogs
Ingredients
- 12 hot dogs, or substitute veggie dogs or sausages
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup cornmeal
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 4 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 large egg
- 1-2 quarts vegetable oil, for frying
- 3 tablespoons Creole seasoning, or substitute favorite peppered seasoning
- Mustard, for serving
- Ketchup, for serving
Directions
Pat hot dogs completely dry with paper towels, then skewer with wooden skewers or wooden popsicle sticks and set aside.
In a large pot over medium heat, add enough oil to come halfway up the sides and heat to 375° while preparing the batter.
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, salt, black pepper, and cayenne. Then whisk in buttermilk and eggs mixing until just combined.
Dip hot dogs into batter and coat evenly. Fry hot dogs, 4 at a time, until golden, about 3-4 minutes, turning as necessary. Use tongs to remove from oil and place on a paper towel-lined plate. While still hot, sprinkle with Creole seasoning. Fry remaining hot dogs, letting oil come back to temperature between batches.
Serve with ketchup and mustard.
