Cheesy Jalapeno Corn Dogs
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 8 hot dogs
- 1 cup cornmeal
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 jalapenos, seeded and finely chopped
- 1 cup milk
- 1 egg
- Vegetable oil for frying
Instructions
- Insert a wooden skewer into each hot dog, leaving enough exposed for a handle.
- In a large bowl, combine 1 cup cornmeal, 1 cup flour, 1/4 cup sugar, 1 tablespoon baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
- Stir in 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese and the chopped jalapenos.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup milk and 1 egg. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined.
- Pour vegetable oil into a large pot or deep fryer to a depth of 2 inches. Heat the oil to 375°F (190°C).
- Dip each hot dog into the batter, coating it evenly. Carefully place the coated hot dogs into the hot oil and fry until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes.
- Remove the corn dogs from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
- Serve the cheesy jalapeno corn dogs hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
