Corn Dog Dip Recipes

KETTLE CORN DOG WITH CHIPOTLE HONEY MUSTARD DIPPING SAUCE

Steps:

• For the dipping sauce: Puree the honey, chipotles and adobo sauce in a blender or with a stick blender. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Mix the chipotle honey with the Dijon. Set aside.
• For the kettle corn dog: Add vegetable oil (about 8 cups) to a deep-fryer and preheat to 350 degrees F.
• Whisk together the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, 1 teaspoon salt and 1 teaspoon pepper. Stir in the eggs and milk. Gently fold in the kettle corn. (You will have about 5 cups batter.)
• Pat the hot dogs dry and then insert a bamboo skewer lengthwise through each one; roll in flour to coat.
• Dip a hot dog in batter, turning to coat completely. Allow excess batter drip off before lowering the battered hot dog into the hot oil. Immediately repeat with 2 hot dogs. Fry until deep golden brown, 5 to 7 minutes, turning to cook evenly. Repeat with the remaining hot dogs, working in batches of three.
• Transfer the corn dogs to a paper-towel-lined baking sheet to drain, turning the corn dogs to blot oil.
• Serve the corn dogs with the dipping sauce.

BREAKFAST SAUSAGE CORN DOGS WITH SPICED MAPLE SYRUP DIP

Steps:

• Soak wooden skewers on a shallow bowl of water for 30 minutes; drain.
• Heat a skillet over medium-high heat; saute sausage links, turning every 2 minutes, until cooked through and browned, about 6 minutes. Thread each sausage onto a wooden skewer.
• Whisk maple syrup, cinnamon, and 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper together in a saucepan over low heat until warmed, 2 to 4 minutes. Remove maple dip from heat.
• Heat about 2 inches of oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 360 degrees F (182 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with paper towels.
• Whisk flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, chili powder, and 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper together in a bowl. Add milk and egg; whisk just until batter is smooth. Pour batter into a tall water glass to 3/4 full.
• Dip each sausage into the batter, swirling and dipping to evenly coat.
• Place the battered sausages gently in the hot oil, 4 at a time; cook, turning every 30 to 60 seconds, until evenly browned, 3 to 4 minutes. Adjust heat as needed to maintain 360 degrees F (182 degrees C). Transfer corn dogs to the paper towel-lined baking sheet. Serve with the maple dip.
