Left-over batter from corn dog batter
cream cheese (amount will depend on how many you make at this time)
powdered sugar
1. While the oil is still hot, take about 2 TBSP full of batter and spoon it into the oil. The oil needs to almost cover the top of it, but not quite. I had to add a little oil before making mine.
2. Next, you will want to take about 1 1/2 tsp of cream cheese and kind of slice it so it lays flat on the batter and place it in the middle of the batter.
3. At this point, the batter should be bubbling around the edges, similar to what a pancake does.
4. Using a small spoon, sprinkle some powdered sugar on the cream cheese and gently press into the batter until it disappears.
5. When the batter appears to be set, flip it on the other side. It will not take long for the "cake" to be finished at this point.
6. Place the "cake" onto a paper towel lined plate.
7. Sprinkle with powdered sugar and let cool for a few minutes. Enjoy! It tastes very similar to a funnel cake!!

Gluten-free corn dogs
Ok, this recipe is an adaptation from a recipe out of the Kid-Friendly Food Allergy Cookbook. Also, I would like to add that I don't usually purchase food allergy cookbooks, just gluten-free cook books because David doesn't have food allergy issues. However, I noticed this one at the library and thought I would give it a try first. So far, all the recipes have been great! And they have been easily adaptable which is also great! So here's the recipe for the corn dogs.
10 hot dogs
1 cup masa corn flour (I didn't have any so I used sweet rice flour.)
1/2 cup cornmeal
1/3 cup honey or sugar (I used honey)
1 egg
1 1/2 tsp. baking powder
1 cup milk or water (I used milk)
1/2 cup olive oil, divided
1. Rinse hot dogs with water and pat dry. Also, I cut mine in half to make them easier to handle.
2. In a medium-size bowl mix together the masa flour, cornmeal, honey, egg, baking powder, milk and 2 TBSP of oil. Mix well, it will be a bit runny.
3. Heat the remaining oil in a frying pan until hot. Ok, let me also add that I also added a little more oil after each bunch of dogs that I fried. So, now you dip a hot dog into the batter (I used my hands) and coat well. Let excess batter drip from hot dog before placing it in the frying pan. Fry a couple at a time. You will need to turn them over and they do not cover the entire hot dog the same way. They do coat pretty well and are still yummy. Remove when finished onto a paper towel lined plate to drain.
These are quite yummy! I hope you enjoy them!
