Corn Dogs

As promised here's the corn dog recipe. They were surprisingly easy to make and tasted incredible. We had them as a starter and then had burger and chips! Although it was way too much food and we didn't eat half of it all...which I guess is a bonus as it means more burgers today...

Happy Eating

• Ingredients - 
  
  
  vegetable oil, for deep frying
• 150g cornmeal or polenta
• 125g plain flour
• 40g sugar
• 3 tsp baking powder
• salt and freshly ground black pepper
• 1 free-range egg
• 225ml full-fat milk
• 12-15 frankfurter sausages
• 12-15 wooden skewers, soaked
  
  
  Method - 
  
  
  1. Heat the vegetable oil in a deep-fat fryer to 160C (a bread crumb should go brown in about 30 seconds) or as I did in a shallow based pan, it worked well and you don't have to use as much oil!
  2. Mix together all of the dry ingredients in a bowl. In a separate bowl, beat the egg and milk together and gradually stir the mixture into to the dry ingredients. Whisk together to make a heavy batter.
  3. Put a skewer through each frankfurter sausage and dip it into the batter until well coated.
  4. Place the frankfurters into the oil, a few at a time, and cook for three minutes, or until golden-brown. Drain on a plate lined with kitchen paper.
  5. To serve, mix the mustard and mayonnaise together in a bowl and serve with the frankfurters.

Tomorrow I'm going to be making corn dogs and I'll be sure to share the recipe with you! We're going to have an American evening and eat corn dogs and burgers and watch something like American Pie (hope this doesn't offend any Americans out there...)
