CHEESY CORN DOGS RECIPES

Steps:

• Place a hot dog on a slice of cheese, then roll the cheese slice around it. Push a wooden skewer through the cheese-wrapped hot dog, then place seam side down on a baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining hot dogs. Freeze for 20 minutes.
• In a large bowl, add the dry ingredients and stir to combine. Once fully combined, mix in the milk, egg, and jalapeño. Stir until the batter is smooth and without lumps. You may need to add 1 or 2 tablespoon of flour; the batter should be thick enough to cling to the hot dog. Pour it into a tall glass for easier dipping.
• Heat the oil in a large pot until it reaches 350°F (180°C).
• Holding the tip of the skewer, take a frozen hot dog and dip it fully into the batter, lifting it out, then rotating it to let excess batter drip off. Using tongs, carefully place the battered dog into the hot oil. Hold it fully submerged for 30-60 seconds until a crust forms, then rotate it so that it fries evenly. Cook for 3-5 minutes, or until golden brown. Repeat with the remaining hot dogs. Serve with mustard for dipping.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Line large baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
• Place 4 slices cheese and 2 tablespoons cold butter in 10- to 12-cup food processor bowl fitted with metal blade. Pulse until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder and baking soda. Pulse until well mixed. With processor running, slowly add 1 tablespoon buttermilk at a time, just until dough forms ball.
• Divide dough in half; shape each half into ball. Flatten slightly. Wrap each in plastic food wrap. Refrigerate at least 30 minutes.
• Heat oven to 400°F.
• Insert chopstick or skewer about 3 inches into each hot dog. Blot hot dogs dry with paper towels. Set aside.
• Roll out 1 dough ball, on lightly floured surface, into (12x5-inch) rectangle. Cut dough crosswise into 3 (5x4-inch) pieces.
• Place 1 slice cheese along 5-inch edge. (Dough will show on opposite edge.) Place hot dog along edge over cheese. Roll up hot dog and cheese, pressing on seam to seal. Repeat with second dough ball and remaining cheese and hot dogs.
• Place corn dogs, seam-side down, onto prepared pan. Brush corn dogs with melted butter. Bake 12-14 minutes or until light golden brown.
