Ingredients:
- 8 hot dogs
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup yellow cornmeal
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk
- 1 egg
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 8 wooden skewers or popsicle sticks
- Optional: ketchup, mustard, or honey mustard for dipping
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
- Prepare the skewers: Insert a wooden skewer or popsicle stick lengthwise into each hot dog, leaving a portion of the stick exposed for easy handling.
- Make the cornmeal dough: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, and salt. In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, and melted butter. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until a soft dough forms.
- Roll out the dough: On a lightly floured surface, roll out the cornmeal dough into a large rectangle, about 1/4 inch thick. Cut the dough into 8 long strips.
- Wrap the hot dogs: Take each hot dog and wrap a strip of dough around it in a spiral, starting at one end and working your way to the other. Press the ends of the dough to seal it around the hot dog. Place the wrapped hot dogs on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown and cooked through.
- Serve: Allow the Corn Dog Twists to cool slightly before serving. Serve them warm with your favorite dipping sauces.
Corn Dog Twists are a fun and tasty treat that’s perfect for any occasion. Their playful presentation and delicious flavor make them a great choice for both kids and adults, whether you’re hosting a party or just looking for a special snack.
