Took all beef hotdogs out for dinner .. With the 3 of us I do kitchen prep dishes as I make them BF will do final of plates or bowls, milk glasses

I made corn dogs for the first time a couple days ago. They were okay...tasted like a normal corn dog. However, I was inspired to try by Dairy Dan's. I will try again.

Have you been there, Penny? I have never liked corn dogs, not even at the fair, and never eat them. But, someone talked me into Dairy Dan's corn dogs and now I've had them twice. They are so good!

Ah...that's sad. What a disappointment after so much dilligent work.

I looked one up online. Searched "best" corn dogs. LOL Do you have a great recipe for them? At Dairy Dan's they are kind of gritty and crunchy. Not too much, just enough to make them good.

That's about the same. Back to the drawing board. Looking for that crunch. LOL

 

[pennyJo1960]

Ok I use tablespoon of baking powder like in frying chicken that is what gives the crunch
adjust your baking powder or buy new

 

[ValerieJ]

Oh, okay. The recipe I used called for 1 tsp of baking powder. I did recently buy baking powder. That could be it. Still, I'm going to keep investigating recipes.

Here's a great idea I got from the site I was on -- pizza corn dogs. It's a string cheese wrapped in pepperoni and dipped in the corn mix and then deep fried. Suggested serving is with marinara sauce. It looked really good. Might try it, but want to get the corn meal right first.

Thanks for the advice!
