Spicy Jalapeno Cheddar Corn Dogs
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup yellow cornmeal
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 2 large eggs
- 8 jalapeno peppers, seeded and finely chopped
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 8 hot dogs
- 8 wooden skewers
- Vegetable oil, for frying
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together 1 cup of all-purpose flour, 1 cup of yellow cornmeal, 1/4 cup of granulated sugar, 1 tablespoon of baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of cayenne pepper.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup of buttermilk and 2 large eggs. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Fold in the finely chopped jalapeno peppers and shredded cheddar cheese.
- Insert a wooden skewer into each hot dog, leaving enough exposed for a sturdy handle. Dip each hot dog into the batter, making sure to coat it evenly.
- In a large pot, heat 2-3 inches of vegetable oil to 375°F (190°C). Carefully place the battered hot dogs into the hot oil and fry until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes. Use tongs to remove the corn dogs from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
- Serve the spicy jalapeno cheddar corn dogs hot with your favorite dipping sauces.
