Mini Chorizo Corn Dogs Recipes

MINI CORN DOGS

Steps:

• Heat 2 inches of oil in a large heavy pot to 375 degrees F on a deep-frying thermometer. Line a plate with paper towels.
• Insert wooden ice pop sticks or skewers securely into the hot dogs.
• Meanwhile, whisk together the cornmeal, flour, sugar, salt, baking powder and baking soda in a medium bowl.
• Whisk the eggs and buttermilk together in a large bowl. Add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients and whisk to combine. Pour the batter into a tall drinking glass.
• When the oil is hot, dip a hot dog into the batter to coat thoroughly, then add it to the oil. Repeat with as many as will fit comfortably in the pot. Fry, turning occasionally, until puffed and golden brown all over, 4 to 5 minutes. Transfer to the lined plate to drain. Repeat with the remaining hot dogs, returning the oil to 375 degrees F between batches.
• Serve immediately with ketchup and mustard.

MINI CHORIZO CORN DOGS RECIPE - (4.6/5)

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375˚ F and coat a 24-cup mini muffin pan with cooking spray. Slice the chorizo into 24 rounds, about 1/2 inch thick. Heat the vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chorizo and cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to cool. Meanwhile, combine the cornmeal, flour, sugar, 1/2 teaspoon salt, the baking powder, baking soda and cayenne in a large bowl. In another bowl, whisk the egg and buttermilk, then whisk into the cornmeal mixture along with the scallions until smooth. (It should be the consistency of pancake batter.) Pour the batter into the prepared muffin pan, filling each cup about halfway. Place a piece of chorizo in the center of each cup. Bake until golden and cooked through, about 12 minutes. Let cool 5 minutes, then remove from the pan.
