Ingredients

The following ingredients have 6 Servings
  • 1 (14- ounce) package Cocktail Wieners (Lit’l Smokies)
  • 1/2 cup cornmeal (not stone ground)
  • 1/2 cup all purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 2/3 cup milk
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 quart vegetable oil (for frying)

Instruction

  • Line a plate with a paper towel. Place the cocktail wieners on the paper towel and pat dry. Set aside.
  • In a bowl whisk together the cornmeal, flour, baking powder, and salt.
  • In another bowl whisk together the milk, egg, and honey. Add the milk mixture into the cornmeal mixture and stir until combined.
  • In a heavy bottomed pot or a Dutch Oven, heat the oil until it reaches 350°F.
  • When the oil is hot, working in small batches, dip each cocktail wiener in the batter using a fork tapping the excess off. (Alternatively, you can use a toothpick to dip into the batter and fry with the toothpick inserted) Carefully place each wiener into the hot oil and cook until golden brown on all sides, 2 – 3 minutes.
  • Using a slotted spoon remove the corn dogs from the oil and place on a paper towel lined plate to soak up excess oil. Repeat the process with the remaining cocktail wieners.
  • Serve warm.
