Froggy ate a corn dog, he did cry “Mmmmm, mmmm!”

I recently went to a potluck with my newly famous corn dogs. Corn dogs were one food we were missing from back home, and I decided to find myself a recipe. I tried a couple that I found online and then I found this one. It’s definitely a keeper.

I did make a slight variation to the recipe. I used 1/2 yogurt 1/2 milk instead of the buttermilk and I added 1/2 teaspoon each of garlic powder and onion powder and 2 tablespoons ofartificial bacon bits. It would be just fine without these. Next time, if I put the bacon bits in I will cut down on the salt, I think it was too salty.

 

For the hot dogs I used cocktail sized chicken franks, but you could easily cut a full size hot dog in thirds. For the sticks, I used toothpicks which I dropped into the oil with the hot dogs. I thought I might have to replace them with new toothpicks afterwards, but in the end they worked just fine. Just make sure to drain those little suckers on plenty of paper towels to absorb the extra oil.

 

When I find myself with extra batter, I drop teaspoonfuls in the hot oil for yummy hush puppies!
