MINI CORNDOG RECIPES

Steps:

• Heat oil in a deep fryer to 365 degrees F (185 degrees C).
• In a large bowl, stir together the flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder and salt. Stir in melted bacon drippings. Make a well in the center, and pour in the egg, buttermilk, and baking soda. Mix until everything is smooth and well blended.
• Pat the hot dogs dry with paper towels so that the batter will stick. Insert wooden sticks into the ends. Dip the hot dogs in the batter one at a time, shaking off the excess. Deep fry a few at a time in the hot oil until they are as brown as you like them. Drain on paper towels or serve on paper plates.

Steps:

• Put peeled and quartered apples in the Instant Pot. Add all remaining ingredients, then secure the lid, making sure the vent is closed.
• Using the display panel select the MANUAL or PRESSURE COOK function*. Use the +/- keys and program the Instant Pot for 3 minutes.
• When the time is up, let the pressure naturally release for 15 minutes, then quick-release the remaining pressure.
• Use a slotted spoon to transfer cooked apples to a large-capacity blender or food processor.
• Process until smooth and uniform. Add additional pot juices 1/4 cup at a time to achieve desired consistency.
• Serve warm or cold with additional cinnamon and/or cinnamon sticks for garnish.
