Jiffy Corn Dog Batter Recipes

CORN DOGS

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, combine cornmeal, flour, salt, pepper, sugar and baking powder. Stir in eggs and milk.
• Preheat oil in a deep saucepan over medium heat. Insert wooden skewers into frankfurters. Roll frankfurters in batter until well coated.
• Fry 2 or 3 corn dogs at a time until lightly browned, about 3 minutes. Drain on paper towels.

BAKED CORN DOGS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cornmeal, baking powder, salt and ground mustard. Cut in the butter with a pastry blender or two forks until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in the milk and honey with a wooden spoon or your hands until well combined.
• Place dough on a lightly floured piece of parchment paper. Sprinkle some more flour over the dough and top with another piece of parchment paper. Roll dough to 1/4-inch thickness.
• Push a wooden stick up the center of the cut end of each hot dog half. Place the dog on the dough and cut a square that is big enough to wrap around it. Form dough around each dog sealing both ends and any open areas. Place corn dogs on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes or until they start to brown. Serve with mustard and ketchup for dipping.

OVEN BAKED CORN DOGS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
• In a shallow dish, combine muffin mix with flour, then stir in eggs, milk and melted butter. Season the mix with chili powder, cumin, cayenne and scallions. The batter will be a thick, sticky biscuit dough. Place a hot dog in the bowl of batter and swoosh it around to coat it. Remove coated dog to a nonstick cookie sheet and use your fingers to spread batter on any exposed dog spots. Don't coat it too thick, just shy of 1/2-inch should do the trick. If it's too thick it will just slide off the dog while it's baking, leaving the dog exposed. If that happens don't sweat it, they will still taste great. Repeat until all 8 are coated. Bake 12 to 15 minutes or until evenly deep brown all over.
• Serve the oven baked corn dogs with your favorite hot dog condiments. Serve with Sweet Relish Slaw Salad and with some baked or reduced-fat chips alongside the dogs.
• In the bottom of a medium, shallow bowl combine relish, vinegar, oil, garlic, bay and cloves. Let stand 5 minutes then fish out the garlic, bay and cloves. Add cabbage salad and toss, let stand 10 to 20 minutes in the refrigerator. Season salad with salt and pepper, toss in the scallions then serve.

ULTIMATE STADIUM CORN DOGS

Steps:

• Fill a large pot halfway with the oil. (You should have a least 4 inches of oil in the pot.) Bring the oil to 350 degrees F over medium to medium-high heat. Line a plate with a paper towel.
• Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine the corn muffin mix, milk, egg, pickled jalapeno juice and a pinch of salt and whisk until blended. If the batter is really thick, add a little more milk. (It should be the consistency of thick pancake batter.) Let rest for about 5 minutes.
• Skewer each hot dog on a chopstick or skewer. Place the flour on a plate or sheet tray. Working in batches of three, dredge the hot dogs in the flour so they are completely coated, making sure to shake off any excess flour. Dip the hot dogs in the batter and turn to completely coat. Gently slide them into the oil and fry, rotating occasionally so they evenly brown, until golden brown all over, 4 to 6 minutes. Remove to the lined plate. Serve with mustard for dipping.

CLASSIC CORN DOG BATTER

Steps:

• 1. In a mixing bowl, combine all the ingredients and mix well. Cut hot dogs into the correct size to fit the Corn Dog maker cavity. Insert a wooden skewer into each hot dog, to make a "handle". With a tablespoon fill the corn dog maker about 2/3 full and lay hot dog while on the stick into the corn dog cavity. Add more batter on top of the hot dog and close the top securely. Do Not overfill the cavities with the batter as the filling will rise during the baking process. Bake until the hot dog is lightly brown, for a crunchier coating leave in longer.
• 2. *** The maker does not give a time for cooking. 5-10 minutes is plenty... Do Not open machine for the first 2 minutes!!!
