Curly Dogs Recipes

CURLY DOGS

Steps:

• Roll each roll into a 14 to 15-inch rope. Twist rope around each hot dog 4 or 5 times, securing ends in dough. Place on a large sprayed baking sheet. Bake immediately at 350°F 15-20 minutes or until golden brown. Serve immediately with desired condiments.
• These curly dogs may also be cooked over hot coals at a summer cookout.

MINI CORNDOGS

Steps:

• For the corndogs: Pour the oil into a Dutch oven fitted with a deep-fry thermometer. Place over medium-high heat and preheat to 375 degrees F.
• Insert a toothpick lengthwise into the center of each cocktail frank, leaving about 1/2 inch of toothpick exposed.
• Mix together the corn muffin mix, buttermilk and egg in a medium bowl to make a batter. Pour the batter into a small cup to make it easier to dip the franks.
• In batches, hold onto the toothpick and dip a frank into the batter. Slowly turn until the frank is evenly coated. Drop into the hot oil and fry until golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Drain and place onto a cooling rack over a baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining franks and batter. Let cool slightly.
• For the sweet and spicy mustard: Whisk together the hot pepper jelly and mustard in a small bowl.
• For the fry sauce: Whisk together the ketchup, mustard and Worcestershire sauce in a small bowl.
• Serve the corndogs with the sauces.

SUNNY'S AWARD WINNING CURRY-STYLE DOG

Steps:

• Cook the wieners: In a large pan, add the butter, oil and onions and cook over medium heat until the onions have softened, about 6 minutes. Add the hot dogs and cook, stirring occasionally, until the hot dogs take on some color, about 5 minutes.
• Make the sauce: In a small bowl, stir the ketchup, honey, curry powder and a few grinds of black pepper until combined. Pour over the hot dogs and onions and cook until the ketchup color deepens and the consistency thickens a bit, about 5 minutes.
• Build the hot dogs: Add an equal amount of prepared fries to each opened bun. Top with an equal amount of the curry wiener mixture and a dusting of curry powder to finish. Serve.

HOT DOG CURLY FRIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
• Halve the hot dogs lengthwise, then cut each half in half lengthwise, and then in half again lengthwise so that you yield 8 hot dog "fries" from each. Lay the cut pieces in a single layer on the sheet pan and bake until the hot dogs are lightly browned and starting to curl up, 10 to 12 minutes. Transfer the fries to paper towels to dry, then mound them on a plate and serve with the three dippers.
• Mix the ketchup and jam together in a bowl and serve.
• Mix together the mayonnaise, sauerkraut, mustard, granulated garlic and salt in a bowl until combined.
• Mix the mustard, relish, celery salt, sport peppers and tomato in a bowl until combined.
