Homemade Corn dogs

• There are a few American food items that I had almost given up finding in England...Corn dogs, jimmy dean sausage, ice cream sandwiches and caffeine free regular coke...
• Finally after 14 years of living away from America (and corn dogs), I bought a deep fat fryer fit for purpose.  I have managed to make corn dogs twice now and thought I would share my recipe for any others out there wanting to take the homemade corn dog plunge. 
• Depending on the size of your fryer you need at least 4 or more litres of vegetable oil. I put the dogs in 2 at a time and they take less than 5 minutes each. I used the highest setting and that seemed to work best.
• This was the mixture I made..
• 150g cornmeal ( Asda and Tesco usually carry this)
• 125g plain flour
• 50gz granulated sugar
• 3 tsp baking powder
• salt and pepper
• 1 egg
• 225ml milk
• 10 hot dogs ( frankfurters ) 
• 10 kebab skewers

To serve

• French's American Mustard 
  
  
  

  

  Second time around I made gluten-free ones...they were crispier than the 1st batch but still tasty.
