Gluten-Free Corn Dogs
Gluten-free corn dogs are the ultimate appetizer for a crowd! Deep fried to golden perfection, these dogs were made for dipping!
Servings: 12 corn dogs
Equipment
- 12 bamboo skewers or lollipop sticks
Ingredients
- ½ cup corn flour or cornmeal
- ½ cup gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- ½ tsp kosher salt
- 1 large egg beaten
- ⅓ cup milk
- 6 gluten-free hot dogs halved and patted dry
- Canola oil for deep frying
Instructions
- In a shallow dish or bowl, combine the corn flour (or cornmeal), gluten-free flour blend, baking powder, sugar, and kosher salt. Mix well to combine.
- Add the beaten egg and milk and mix until well combined.
- Heat the canola oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 350°F.
- While the oil is heating, insert bamboo skewers or lollipop sticks into the hot dogs, leaving about 2 inches of the stick exposed for handling. Then dip each hot dog into the batter, ensuring it's fully coated.
- Carefully place the coated hot dogs into the hot oil, a few at a time, depending on the size of your fryer or pot. Be cautious not to overcrowd the oil.
- Fry the corn dogs for about 2-4 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are golden brown and crispy on all sides.
- Using tongs, carefully remove the cooked corn dogs from the hot oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil. Serve hot with your favorite condiments such as ketchup, mustard, or relish. Enjoy!
Notes
- The batter can be made up to 3 days in advance and stored in the refrigerator.
- Try adding a pinch of paprika, cayenne pepper, or a teaspoon of dried herbs for a flavor boost.
- Don't overcrowd the oil. This will lower the temperature of the oil and cause the corn dogs to turn out greasy.
- If the batter is falling off of the corn dogs as they cook, try chilling it for 30 minutes before continuing.
- This batter is great for dipping other foods, like sausages or pickles!
- To store: place gluten-free corn dogs in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- To freeze: wrap them in plastic wrap to store for up to 2 months.
