PICKLE DOG RECIPES

Steps:

• • Add vegetable oil to skillet and bring to medium heat.
  • Combine chives, cheddar cheese and softened cream cheese. Add salt and pepper to taste and stir until mixture is smooth.
  • Slice each pickle lengthwise and set aside.
  • Place hot dogs in heated skillet and grill for 5-6 minutes, rotating halfway through to ensure even cooking. Remove from heat when hot dogs are slightly browned.
  • Spread cream cheese mixture along the inside of each pickle and place hot dog in pickle, like a hot dog bun.
  • Garnish with mustard and ketchup and serve immediately.

Steps:

• Skewer pickles with a long wooden skewer. Place flour in a medium shallow bowl and coat pickles in flour, tapping off excess. Whisk the cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, salt, baking soda, and black pepper into the remaining flour. In a small bowl, combine buttermilk and egg, then pour into dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Pour batter into a tall glass and let sit while oil heats. In a large pot over medium heat, add enough oil to come halfway up the sides and heat to 375°. Dip pickles into batter and coat evenly. Fry, in two batches, until golden, 5 minutes, turning as necessary. Use tongs to remove from oil and place on a paper towel–lined plate. Repeat with remaining pickles and batter. Serve with mustard and ketchup.
