uncorndogs (corndogs without corn) Recipe ingredients Pumpernickel Rye meal or Almond flour 2/3 cup Arrowroot flour, tapioca flour, corn starch potato starch/flour or wheat flour. 2/3 cup Soda 2 teaspoons Citric acid crystals 1 teaspoon (or 4 teaspoons Cream of tarter) Knuckle Donnys seasoning or Steak seasoning of your choice 1 tablespoon ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Depending upon your taste in hot spices, Black pepper, 1/2 teaspoon or ground Cayenne 1/4 teaspoon or ground Habaņero 1/8 teaspoon ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Large eggs 3 Milk or Soy Milk 1/4 cup Frankfurters (hot dogs) 1 package (10 ea.) Canola or peanut oil one or two quarts. Blend the dry ingredients with a fork, in a three to five quart, straight sided pan or bowl. Add mixed eggs and milk, continuing to stir with fork until batter is well mixed. The batter should be thick, smooth, and sticky. If it seems too thick, stir in little more milk (or soy milk) but be careful not to get it too thin. Grab a hot dog with a pair of tongs, dip it in the batter, wallow it around, lift it out (don't let it drip too much, excess batter on the dog is a real culinary bonus) and drop it in a skillet of hot vegetable oil. Remember that the hot dog is already cooked so it's ready as soon as the batter looks nicely done. Serve with catsup or your favorite mustard. This is good stuff ya'll. For a nice variation, use fully cooked cocktail sausages in place of the hot dogs. Comments? Suggestions? More recipes? Feel free to visit my website. www.don-guitar.com 2006
