Homemade Corn Dogs

These were amazing! They weren't too thick or too thin. They made about 10 hot dogs (sams/costco size). We poured the batter into a deep cup adn then dipped the dogs in the batter that way. It worked so perfect. 

• 1 Tbsp vinegar or lemon juice
• scant 1 cup milk (I used skim)
• 1 1/2 cup flour
• 1 cup yellow corn meal
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 2 eggs
• 10-12 hot dogs
• brochettes or wooden skewers, cut in half

1. Preheat some oil in a deep fryer or large skillet to 365 degrees. You need it to be a couple of inches deep and the pan needs to be large enough to fit the corn dogs in.  I used my Le Cruset oval dutch oven.  You want to completely submege the corn dogs in the oil.
2. Place 1 Tbsp of the vinegar or lemon juice in a liquid measure cup.  Then add enough milk to measure 1 cup.  Stir and let sit for 5 minutes.
3. Meanwhile, whisk together the flour,corn meal, sugar, baking powder,salt, and baking soda in a large bowl.  Add milk and eggs then whisk until well combined.
4. Insert skewer in hot dog and dip in batter. Coat hot dog well and fry in 356 degree oil until golden brown. Drain on towels.

Special Hot Dog Supper

From:Easy Slow Cooker Cookbook

1 lb. beef weiners
2 (15 oz) cans chili w/ out beans
1 onion, chopped
1 can cheddar cheese soup
1 can fiesta nacho cheese soup
1 can chopped green chilies, drained

Cut hot dogs in 1/2 in. pieces and place in cooker. In saucepan, combine chili, onion, soups, and green chilies. Heat enough to mix well. Pour in crockpot. Cover and cook on low 1 1/2-2 hours.

Serve over bowl of corn chips or crisp tortilla chips, slightly crushed.

*This makes a LOT. You have to really like hot dogs to truly enjoy this meal. My husband and I thought it was better as just a dip (leave out the hot dogs) If you make it as a dip only use 1 can of chili.
