Ingredients
Scale
- 1 (14.75 ounce) package corn muffin mix
- 1 cup milk
- 1 large egg
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 (14 ounce) package mini hot dogs
- Vegetable oil, for frying
- Powdered sugar, for dusting (optional)
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together the corn muffin mix, milk, egg, sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 350°F (175°C).
- Dip each mini hot dog into the corn muffin batter, ensuring it’s fully coated.
- Carefully place the batter-covered hot dogs into the hot oil, working in batches to avoid overcrowding.
- Fry for 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
- Remove the corn dog bites from the oil with a slotted spoon and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
- Dust with powdered sugar, if desired, before serving.
Notes
- For a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the batter.
- Serve with your favorite dipping sauces, such as honey or chocolate sauce.
- These are best served immediately, but can be stored in an airtight container for up to a day. Reheat in the oven or air fryer for a few minutes to crisp them up.
