Organic, Real Food on a Budget – Homemade Corn Dogs

105 shares
  • Share
  • Tweet

I met Matt for the first time in Mexico. After a red-eye and only two hours of sleep, there I sat with 8 other bloggers for dinner at a beautiful restaurant. I was a bit intimidated. I mean, come on. It’s Matt Armendariz. He’s a crazy talented photographer, writes one amazing blog, and if you’ve seen his recipes, it’s obvious this guy can cook. Who wouldn’t be a bit intimidated. But as soon as Matt began speaking I was put at ease. He’s funny, charming, encouraging, and totally approachable. He even raised a glass to toast to my cookbook. Now really. How considerate is that? So when I heard he had his own cookbook coming out I couldn’t wait to get my hands on it.

On a Stick! That’s the name. Doesn’t it make you smile? It’s the kind of book that makes your imagination go wild with all the possibilities. Chocolate covered waffles on a stick. Fried ravioli on a stick. Beef teriyaki on a stick. You get my drift.

How do corn dogs qualify as “Organic on a Budget?”. Well, we all like to cut loose at times but “junk” food can cost a pretty penny and usually isn’t very healthy. For the cost of 2 corn dogs at a theme park, you can make 10 of them at home. And few things are better than a good corn dog sloshed with yellow tangy mustard.

I’m not sure of the perfect corn dog dipping technique because some of my dogs didn’t turn out looking “photo ready.” The kids enjoyed picking out one that possessed a funky personality, though. I also discovered the dough makes a fabulous funnel cake when fried alone, too. So make two batches of batter, add a couple tablespoons of sweetener to one and after you fry up your corn dogs, make a few funnel cakes. Oh the possibilities! I wonder if I could get a funnel cake on a stick? Matt could.

 

Serves: Makes 10 corn dogs

Homemade Gluten Free Corn Dogs

If you'd like to make this recipe with whole wheat flour then omit the gluten free flour mix and gelatin and replace it with 3/4 cups whole wheat flour.

Ingredients

    For the Corn Dogs:
  • 1 qt. peanut oil or lard
  • 3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons gluten free flour mix (I used Bob’s Red Mill )
  • 3/4 cup cornmeal
  • 3/4 teaspoon unflavored gelatin
  • 3/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/8 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoons sea salt
  • 1 tablespoon light honey
  • 3/4 cup whole milk
  • 1 large egg
  • 10 hot dogs (nitrate free preferred)
  • 10 wooden skewers
  • Ketchup and mustard for dipping

Instructions

  1. Pour oil in a large heavy pot and heat over medium-high heat. Whisk flour mix, cornmeal, gelatin, baking powder, baking soda, salt and pepper in a medium bowl. Add honey, milk and egg and whisk until combined.
  2. Thread hot dogs onto skewers. When oil reaches 360ºF dip each hot dog into batter, rolling until fully coated and quickly drop entire stick into oil. Fry, two at a time, until golden brown, about 4-5 minutes. Drain on paper towels. Repeat for remaining corn dogs. Serve warm.

    I've never had a corn dog - never been even remotely tempted - until today - thanks to you and Matt I'm going to make these for July 4th - a flag in one hand and a corn dog in the other - who says I'm not American!!!

    OK, I was super excited that you would tackle this particular junk food when I requested it a few months ago... corn dogs are my favorite, but I rarely eat them for obvious nutrition reasons! But now I love them (and YOU for posting this) even more since I'm pregnant and realllly craving nutty things! You're the best, Carrie!

    Great recipe Carrie! We tried these last night. I made two packages (14 dogs) intending to freeze some, there were O left! I used Pamela's Baking Mix and omitted the baking powder. Perfect!

    Carrie, do you have nutritional information for your recipes? The reason I ask is my son is currently on a low glycemic diet for health reasons not weightloss(www.vocaltics.blogspot.com). I'd love to make these for him but I'm concerned about those two values. Is there a site somewhere we could put in the ingredients and figure it out? I'm willing to do the homework, just not sure where to start. So, I thought if you had it... :) Thanks!

      I don't have nutritional information for my recipes, but if you have a recipe software you could enter them in and it should be able to give you nutritional information. I use MacGourmet and find it very helpful.

    Hi! This looks amazing! I'm just starting my GF adventures and am still trying to find things my 3 year old will eat along with me. This looks like a winner for a treat night. Question - 1o hot dogs is a lot to make at once for my family of 3. Do you know if these would freeze and then could be re-warmed in the oven later to retain crispiness? Thanks!

      Yes, these freeze great, and can go straight from the freezer to the oven.

    These were so delicious! I double batter/fried them do that they would be thicker. Still were pretty thin, but i fried them in a fryer so there's more drip off! Thanks for providing this recipe! It was delicious! Also, I loved using the extra batter for funnel cakes. Yum!

    Hi there. Could you tell me what the gelatin is there for? I don’t have any so just wondering if I can omit it without any major drawbacks.

      It binds the flours together, so it's not something you can leave out.

    This recipe is amazing!! My daughter is gluten, egg and dairy intolerant and misses corn dogs. Decided today to look for a recipe to try and this one didn’t disappoint!! I used flax seed for the egg and followed everything else exact. I had to hand form the batter around the hotdog and I don’t own a deep fryer so I wasn’t sure it was going to work. I added coconut oil (all I had on hand) to my skillet and hoped for the best. The best was what I got!! THANK YOU!! Definitely making these again!!!
