Instructions:
If using cooked veggies or chicken, prepare this ahead of time. Use leftovers, too!
Prepare your skewers by soaking wood or bamboo skewers in water.
Plug in the corn dog maker to pre-heat.
In a large bowl, mix flour, corn meal, baking powder, salt and pepper.
Add eggs and water/milk. Mix to combine.
Add more water/milk to get to the desired consistency of better. It should be thick enough to evenly coat your skewers with food.
IF you would like, add food coloring to your batter to make it fun and themed. This step is optional.
Carefully, “skewer” your food. Be sure to only make the food as large as the well in the corndog maker.
If using cheese or veggies, cut into small pieces and alternate on your skewers.
Get creative!
IF YOU FIND THE BATTER IS NOT STICKING TO YOUR FOOD, then you can
Pat your food dry to remove any excess moisture.
AND / OR lightly sprinkle your food with a little cornstarch.
Once your batter is made and your food is skewered, it’s time to start making the dogs!
You can do this in one of two ways – dip or scoop. While I like to dip when I am deep frying, for the corndog maker, I find the scoop method better.
Using two spoons, scoop a little batter from the bowl, and CAREFULLY add to the well of the corn dog maker you are using. Only fill 25-30% up the sides of the well and from end to end, long ways. I do two – three wells at a time.
Lay your skewers into the well, with the clean part of the skewer sticking out of the machine.
Carefully, use your spoon to cover the skewers and wells with more batter. Be careful not to overfill or the batter will squeeze out! It’s okay if that happens, just messy.
Once cooked, carefully take the corn dogs out of the maker and allow to cool.
Eat with your choice of mustard, ketchup, or other dip!
