Corn dogs are popular at picnics.
Corn dogs on a stick made their fair debut in America in the 1940s at the Texas State Fair and swiftly became popular. They were originally called Fletcher's original state fair corny dog and were sold by Neil and Carl Fletcher. Hot dogs are placed on a stick, covered with corn batter and deep fried until golden brown. They can be fried in a frying pan of hot oil, but a deep fryer works better. The best part is that the hot dog is already cooked, so you only need to be sure the corn breading is cooked and the hot dog is hot.
Instructions
1. Combine 1 cup yellow cornmeal, 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1/4 tsp. salt, 1/8 tsp. black pepper, 1/4 cup sugar and 4 tsp. baking powder. Add 1 egg and 1 cup milk.
2. Preheat the oil in your deep fryer to 350 F. Push wooden skewers or wooden craft sticks into the hot dogs.
3. Roll the hot dogs into the batter. Be sure to coat the whole hot dog with batter.
4. Place two or three corn dogs into your deep fryer at a time. You may be able to fit more, depending on the size.
5. Fry the corn dogs for about 3 minutes or until they are light brown. Remove them with tongs and drain them on paper towels.
