CornDog


Ingredients:
Hotdogs
Wooden skewers
Cornflour ~ for dusting
Oil ~ for deep-frying
Tomato sauce ~ for dipping

Batter:
1 cup plain flour
1¼ cup cornmeal
1½ cup of milk
1 tsp baking soda
1 egg ~ lightly beaten
1 tsp salt
¼ cup sugar

Directions:
  1. Insert wooden skewers through each hotdog, leaving some of the skewer sticking out for a handle.  Dust the hotdogs with a little cornflour.
  2. Make the batter, sift the flour & baking soda into a large bowl, stir in the cornmeal, sugar, salt and make a well in the centre.  Gradually add the combined egg and 1½ cup of milk, whisking to make a smooth, lump-free batter
  3. Heat oil in a deep heavy-based pan.  Dip the hotdogs into the batter a few at a time; drain off the excess batter.   Using tongs, gently lower the hotdogs into the oil.  Cook over medium-high heat for 1-2 minutes or until golden & crisp & heated through.   Carefully removes from the oil.  Drain on crumpled paper towels & keep warm.   Repeat with the remaining hotdogs.   Serve with tomato sauce.
