My kids love corndogs, but they are so expensive if I splurge and buy them from the store. I made them today for about $2 for 8. A bit of savings, but also a lot of fun for the kids to watch mom try to figure it all out.
1 pack of hot dogs
1 package of corn muffin mix made with only 1/2 the milk or water on package directions
skewer sticks, broken in half
(I might make mini corn dogs next time - maybe even without the stick swords)
Slowly slide the stick through the hot dogs, then roll/spread batter on the hot dog. Heat oil in pan on top of stove. Keep it at medium heat (this takes about 20 minutes to heat it slowly) until a test drop of batter browns in about 30 seconds. You don't want to have it heat up too fast (or too slow either). Place skewered hot dogs in oil and brown on all sides, turning every few seconds. This will cook and brown quickly so don't walk away!
Lift out of oil with slotted spoon or spatula, and drain/cool on plate. Serve with corn dog toppings of your choice!
(Cool the oil and save for another frying adventure, or discard - in a container - to the trash)
The kids loved this kitchen adventure and even said they were as good as store bought corn dogs. I even made a fried cornbread for Evelyn who doesn't like hot dogs, but likes the fried bread.
You can also make your own Chinese spring rolls this way - cabbage mixed with ground pork and a bit of seasoning/sauce rolled up in the thin papery wraps - then fried. (Google this for a specific recipe!) Yummy. Happy Frying!

Sounds really healthy for you too! Haha - I'll have to try it out.
Yeah, so healthy. Remember, I am constantly trying to fatten my kids up, and slim me down. I did not partake!
