Egg Free, Dairy Free Fried Corn Dogs

We love our Baked Corn Dogs, but I wanted to make a fried corn dog like you see at fairs and amusement parks. They were very good, but they are more time consuming and obviously greasier than the baked version. I made a quadruple batch since the oil was heated, then froze all of the leftovers in freezer Ziploc bags. They reheat well in the microwave, they just loose their crispiness.

Fried Corn Dogs

Oil for frying
2 tbsp cornstarch
2 tbsp water
1 cup soy milk
1 cup flour
3/4 cup yellow cornmeal
2 tbsp baking powder
2 tbsp sugar
1 tsp salt
Approximately 12 hot dogs
Approximately 12 wooden popsicle sticks

Heat the oil in a deep pan until very hot then keep over medium heat. While the oil is warming, whisk the cornstarch and water in a large mixing bowl. Whisk in the soy milk. Add the flour, cornmeal, baking powder, sugar and salt then whisk until smooth. Place a popsicle stick into a hot dog, leaving about 1 1/2" of the stick to hold. Roll the hot dogs into the batter, using a spoon or spatula to coat thickly and evenly. Carefully lay 2-4 coated hot dogs in the oil, but be careful not to crowd them. Fry until golden brown, gently turning with tongs to brown evenly. Remove the hot dogs from the oil then allow them to drain on paper towels.
*  Leftovers can be frozen in freezer Ziploc bags. Reheat in the microwave.
