Corn Dog Style Onion Wedges Recipes

CORN DOGS

Steps:

• Special equipment: 8 sets chopsticks, not separated
• Pour oil into a deep fryer or large heavy pot and heat to 375 degrees F. In a medium mixing bowl, combine the cornmeal, flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda, and cayenne pepper. In a separate bowl, combine the jalapeno, corn, onion, and buttermilk. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients all at once, and stir only enough times to bring the batter together; there should be lumps. Set batter aside and allow to rest for 10 minutes.
• Scatter the cornstarch into a dry pie pan. Roll each hot dog in the cornstarch and tap well to remove any excess.
• Transfer enough batter to almost fill a large drinking glass. Refill the glass as needed. Place each hot dog on chopsticks, and quickly dip in and out of the batter. Immediately and carefully place each hot dog into the oil, and cook until coating is golden brown, about 4 to 5 minutes. With tongs, remove to cooling rack, and allow to drain for 3 to 5 minutes.

CORN DOG-STYLE ONION WEDGES

Steps:

• Fill a large Dutch oven fitted with a deep-fry thermometer with 2 inches of oil and heat to 350 degrees F over medium heat. Line a baking sheet with paper towels.
• Whisk the cornmeal, flour, garlic powder, mustard powder, baking powder, cayenne pepper, 2 teaspoons salt and a generous amount of black pepper in a large bowl. Whisk in the milk, egg, 1 tablespoon oil and 1 tablespoon honey.
• Working in 3 to 4 batches, put the onions into the batter and use a spoon to submerge them completely so they are fully coated. Let any excess batter drip back into the bowl and transfer the onions to the oil with your hands or a fork.
• Fry, flipping halfway through, until the batter is deep golden brown and the onions soften, 4 to 5 minutes. Transfer with a slotted spoon to the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining onions, returning the oil to 350 degrees F between batches.
• Meanwhile, whisk together the ketchup, yellow mustard, hot sauce and remaining 1 tablespoon honey in a small bowl. Serve the onion wedges with the sauce.
