SAUSAGE CORN DOGS RECIPES

Steps:

• In a large pan over medium heat, heat the olive oil for 1 minute. Add the breakfast sausages to the pan and cook for 12 minutes, turning constantly, until crispy and browned all over.
• Drain the sausages on paper towels and let cool. Insert a small ice pop stick in each sausage. Set aside.
• Make the pancake batter: In a large bowl, sift together the flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda, and sugar. Use your hands to make a well in the middle of the dry ingredients. Pour the milk, eggs, and melted butter into the well, then stir the center working your way out until the mixture is thick and well-combined. Fold in the bacon.
• Heat the canola oil in a medium pot over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (180°C).
• Pour the pancake batter into a tall glass, then dip a sausage stick into the mixture.
• Use tongs to gently place the battered sausage into the hot oil and cook until golden brown, 1-2 minutes. Drain on paper towels or a cooling rack. Repeat with the remaining sausages.
• Dust with powdered sugar and serve with maple syrup.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• To cook Italian sausages, use the tines of a fork to prick several holes in each sausage link. In a large skillet cook sausage links over medium heat about 5 minutes or until brown, turning frequently. Carefully add water. Bring to boiling; reduce heat. Simmer, covered, for 5 minutes. Uncover and cook, turning frequently, until liquid evaporates and sausages are done (160 degrees F). Drain on paper towels.
• Preheat oil to 375 degrees F. For batter, in a large bowl combine cornmeal, flour, Romano cheese, baking powder, and salt. Make a well in center of cornmeal mixture. In a medium bowl combine eggs and half-and-half. Add egg mixture to cornmeal mixture. Stir just until moistened.
• Insert a wooden skewer into one end of each sausage link. Dip sausage links into batter, using a spoon to coat all sides evenly.
• Fry corn dogs, three at a time, about 3 minutes or until golden. Do not crowd. Be cautious of splattering oil. Maintain oil temperature around 375 degrees F. Remove corn dogs from hot oil; drain on wire racks. If desired, serve with marinara sauce. Makes 12 corn dogs.
