My kids love corn dogs. I would like to make them at home and freeze
them. Then they can be heated in the microwave. Any recipes
apprecieted.
The corn dog was first introduced at the Texas State Fair in 1942. Legend
has it that two brothers, Carl and Neil Fletcher, were responsible for the
first corn dogs. The brothers saw a Dallas street vendor selling hot dogs
coated in cornmeal batter that were baked in molds shaped like ears of
corn. They decided to put the hot dogs on sticks, dip them in batter and
deep fry them, which would make the process faster and the treat more
convenient to eat.
Texas State Fair Corn Dogs
3 cup corn meal
1 cup flour
2 Tbsp. sugar
1 1/2 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. salt
2 Tbsp. lard (melted)
3/4 cup milk (room temp.)
1 egg slightly beaten
About 15 weiners
Lard for deep frying
Place weiners in boiling water while mixing the batter. Combine corn meal,
flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, grease, milk and egg: Mix well ( almost
the consistency of cornbread ) and let set. Put a wooden skewer in the end
of each weiner and dip in batter, let excess run off. Deep fry at 360 F,
keeping the dogs submerged in hot grease 4-5 minutes until golden brown.
Variation: For A Little Texas Heat Add 1 tsp. cayenne pepper to the batter
mix. or Add 2 Habanero peppers (finely chopped) to batter mix.
