Ingredients
  

For the Corn Dog Batter
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup cornmeal
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
For the Corn Dogs
  • 1 pound halal beef hot dogs or any halal beef sausage of your choice
  • 1 pack Wooden skewers or popsicle sticks
  • Vegetable oil for frying

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Start by gathering all your ingredients. Skewer each halal beef hot dog with a wooden stick, inserting the skewer halfway into the dog. Set aside.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, cornmeal, baking powder, sugar, and salt. Mix well. In another bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, and vegetable oil. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry, stirring until you have a smooth batter.
Cooking
  1. In a large frying pan or deep fryer, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. You’ll want at least 2 inches of oil for frying. To test if it’s hot enough, drop a small bit of batter into the oil; it should sizzle and float to the top.
  2. Dip each skewered hot dog into the batter, making sure it’s thoroughly coated. Carefully lower it into the hot oil.
  3. Fry for about 4-5 minutes or until golden brown, turning occasionally for even cooking.
  4. Once golden, remove from the oil and place on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess oil. Repeat with remaining corn dogs. Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauces!

Notes

Keep it cold for crunchy corn dogs; ensure batter and hot dogs are cold when frying. Experiment with flours by substituting part of the all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour for a unique nuttiness.
