Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup yellow cornmeal
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 1/4 cups milk
- 1 egg
- 1 package mini hot dogs or cocktail sausages
Instructions
- Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, salt, paprika, and garlic powder.
- In another mixing bowl, whisk together the milk and egg until smooth.
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until well combined.
- Insert a toothpick in each mini hot dog or cocktail sausage.
- Dip each mini hot dog or cocktail sausage in the batter, making sure it's fully coated.
- Place the coated mini hot dogs or cocktail sausages in the air fryer basket and cook for 6-7 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
- Remove from the air fryer basket and serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
Tips
- You can use regular hot dogs instead of mini hot dogs or cocktail sausages. Just cut them into bite-size pieces before inserting the toothpick and dipping them in the batter.
- If you don't have an air fryer, you can still make these mini corn dogs in a deep fryer or on the stovetop. Simply heat up some oil in a pot or fryer and fry the coated mini hot dogs or cocktail sausages until golden brown and crispy.
- If you have leftover batter, you can use it to make regular-sized corn dogs or even onion rings.
- For a fun and creative twist, try using different types of sausages or hot dogs, such as cheese-filled hot dogs or spicy sausages.
- Serve with ketchup, mustard, barbecue sauce or your favorite dipping sauce.
