Mini Corn Dogs

Posted by Lori:

I remember making these Mini Corn Dogs sooooo many times before we had children, but now that we've been parents for 16 years and have four kiddos, I've not made them once.  I think it's because they get an occasional corn dog or hot dog at ballgames, fairs, and things like that, so I don't want our "home-cooked" meals to be that same kind of cuisine.  Although, when I think about it, a lot of the quick foods I serve from time to time are about the same equivalent in nutrition to these little snacks.  Not necessarily the best in nutrition, but certainly pleasing to the tastes of children.....and most likely many adults, too!

Mini Corn Dogs

2/3 cup cornmeal
1 teaspoon salt
1 egg, beaten
1/3 cup flour
1/2 cup milk
2 teaspoons oil
8 to 10 wieners
Oil for deep frying

Cut wieners into thirds.  Combine cornmeal, flour, and salt in medium bowl.  Mix well.  Stir in milk, egg, and 2 teaspoons oil.  With toothpicks, dip wieners into batter.  Deep fry in 375 degree oil until brown.  Drain on paper towels.  Keep warm in 200 degree oven until ready to serve.
