Whether you’re hosting a casual brunch or just looking to satisfy your sweet tooth, here’s a simple guide on how to make breakfast corn dogs that will leave everyone craving more.
Ingredients:
– 1 package of corn dog sticks
– 1 cup of vegetable oil (for frying)
– 1 cup of all-purpose flour
– 1 cup of cornmeal
– 1 teaspoon of baking powder
– 1/2 teaspoon of salt
– 1/2 teaspoon of sugar
– 1/2 cup of milk
– 1 egg, beaten
– 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract (optional)
– 1 cup of confectioners’ sugar
– 1 tablespoon of milk
– Food coloring (optional)
Instructions:
1. Begin by heating the vegetable oil in a deep fryer or a large pot to 375°F (190°C). This will ensure that the corn dogs are cooked to perfection.
2. In a medium-sized bowl, combine the flour, cornmeal, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Mix well to create a dry mixture.
3. In another bowl, whisk together the milk, beaten egg, and vanilla extract (if using). This will create the wet mixture.
4. Dip each corn dog stick into the wet mixture, ensuring that it is fully coated. Then, dip the coated stick into the dry mixture, pressing gently to remove any excess flour.
5. Once all the corn dogs are coated, carefully place them into the hot oil. Fry for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
6. Remove the corn dogs from the oil using a slotted spoon and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
7. In a small bowl, mix the confectioners’ sugar and milk until smooth. Add food coloring (if using) to achieve your desired color.
8. Dip the cooked corn dogs into the icing mixture, coating them evenly. You can also sprinkle some additional sugar on top for extra sweetness.
9. Allow the corn dogs to set for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your breakfast corn dogs with a side of ketchup or mustard for the perfect breakfast treat!
