Ingredients

For the batter:

  • 1/2 cup cashews (I prefer to use soaked and dehydrated cashews)
  • 1 1/2 cups almond flour
  • 2 tablespoons coconut flour
  • 3/4 teaspoon unflavored gelatin (I prefer Great Lakes or Bernard Jensen)
  • 1/2 teaspoon Celtic sea salt
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 4 large eggs
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter or coconut oil, melted
  • 2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
  • 8 organic hotdogs or sausages
  • 8 sturdy sticks

Instructions

  1. Place cashews and 1/4 cup water in a small bowl and let soak for 30 minutes.
  2. After 30 minutes, heat tallow in a large pot over medium-high heat until 350ºF. Preheat oven to 300ºF and adjust rack to middle position. Pour cashews and water mixture into the bowl of a food processor. Blend until smooth, scraping down the sides a few times to ensure all cashews are pureed. Add almond flour, coconut flour, gelatin, salt, baking soda, eggs, butter and cider vinegar to the cashew mixture. Process until smooth. Pour batter into a loaf pan (this will make coating the hotdogs much easier). Insert a stick halfway into each hotdog. Submerge the hotdog into the batter and roll around to coat (you can use a small spoon to help with this if needed). Immediately place in the hot tallow. Fry 1-2 minutes until all sides are golden brown. Place corn dog on a baking sheet lined with a cooling rack. Repeat with remaining ingredients. Place corn dogs in the oven and bake for 15 minutes (this will finish the cooking process). Serve with condiments of your choice.
