Recipe:
Spent Grain Corn Dog
Updated on December 09, 2016
The only thing better than a hot dog is a hot dog on a stick, dipped in batter, and fried. And now that you can make your own delicious corn dogs whenever you'd like with this spent grain-based cheesy recipe, corn dogs aren't just for the state fair anymore. So grab a beer and some dogs and get to frying!
WHAT YOU NEED
- 3/4 cup Spent Grain Flour
- 3/4 cup yellow cornmeal
- 3 tablespoons grated cheddar cheese
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup kefir or low-fat milk
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
- 1 egg, beaten
- 6 hot dogs
- 6 popsicle sticks
- canola oil for frying
WHAT YOU DO
- In a bowl combine spent grain flour, corn meal, cheese, baking powder and salt, stir until well blended. Add in keffir, melted butter and egg, stir until batter is uniform.
-
Skewer the hot dogs. Using your hands mold batter & dip into the batter to coat.
- In a medium-sized heavy bottomed pot heat your oil to 350 degrees. (Alternatively, your oil is ready when you drop a dollop of beer batter in and it sizzles and cooks instead of sinking to the bottom of the pot.) Slowly submerge into hot oil and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, flipping in between until golden brown.
- Once removed from hot oil, place your corn dogs to drain on a paper towel. Serve hot!
