Directions

  1. If desired, briefly blanch the sausages, then let them cool and insert a skewer into each one.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the corn flour, all-purpose flour, baking powder, sugar, salt, pepper, and powdered mustard. ≈ 4 min
  3. Add the egg and milk, and mix until you have a thick, but not too runny or too dense, batter. ≈ 4 min
  4. Pour ease the process, pour the batter into a tall glass, so you can easily submerge the sausages. ≈ 3 min
  5. Dip each sausage in the batter to ensure it is thoroughly coated, then immediately place it in the hot oil.
  6. Fry in medium heat, so that the coating becomes crispy and the sausage is thoroughly cooked inside.
  7. Once the corn dogs are golden brown, drain them on paper towels. ≈ 2 min
