# What You'll Need:

01 - 12 halal beef franks, cut in half
02 - 24 wooden skewers or lollipop sticks

→ Batter

03 - 1 cup fine yellow cornmeal
04 - 1 cup all-purpose flour
05 - 1/4 cup granulated sugar

10 - 2 large eggs
11 - 2 tablespoons vegetable oil

→ Frying

12 - 1 quart vegetable oil for deep frying

# Directions:

01 - Pat halal beef franks dry and insert a wooden skewer into each half, creating 24 mini franks on sticks.
02 - In a mixing bowl, whisk together cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and black pepper until evenly combined.
03 - In a separate bowl, whisk together milk, eggs, and vegetable oil until well incorporated.
04 - Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Batter should be thick; add 1 to 2 tablespoons milk if needed.
05 - Heat vegetable oil in a deep pot or fryer to 350°F.
06 - Pour batter into a tall glass. Dip each frank into the batter, coating it evenly on all sides.
07 - Carefully lower coated franks into hot oil a few at a time and fry for 2 to 3 minutes or until golden brown, turning as needed.
08 - Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels until excess oil is removed.
09 - Serve warm with ketchup, mustard, or favorite dipping sauces.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • These bite-sized treats have the perfect ratio of sweet cornmeal coating to savory beef frank, creating that irresistible contrast that keeps everyone reaching for just one more.
  • They satisfy both kids and adults alike, making them the rare appetizer that doesnt leave half your party guests hunting for something better to eat.
02 -
  • If your oil temperature drops below 325°F, your corn dogs will absorb too much oil and become greasy rather than crispy.
  • Adding the batter to a tall glass rather than trying to dip in a bowl gives you a much more even coating and less mess on your countertop.
03 -
  • The temperature of your ingredients matters - room temperature eggs and milk create a smoother batter that adheres better to the franks than cold ingredients straight from the fridge.
  • If your wooden skewers keep spinning when you try to dip the franks, flatten one end of each skewer slightly with a knife to create a grip that prevents rotation.
