Mini Corn Dogs Beef Franks (Printable)

Crispy golden bites featuring juicy beef franks, ideal for parties or quick snacks.

# What You'll Need:

01 - 8 beef franks, cut into thirds (24 pieces)

02 - 24 wooden toothpicks or mini skewers

03 - 1 cup yellow cornmeal

04 - 1 cup all-purpose flour

05 - 2 tbsp granulated sugar

06 - 1 tsp baking powder

07 - 1/2 tsp baking soda

08 - 1/2 tsp salt

09 - 1/4 tsp ground black pepper

10 - 1 cup whole milk

11 - 2 large eggs

12 - 2 tbsp vegetable oil

13 - 4 cups vegetable oil, for deep frying

01 - Pat dry the beef franks and insert a toothpick or mini skewer into each piece. Set aside.

02 - In a large bowl, whisk together cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and black pepper.

03 - In a separate bowl, whisk together milk, eggs, and vegetable oil.

04 - Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined to form a thick batter.

05 - Pour the batter into a tall glass for easy dipping.

06 - Heat vegetable oil in a deep pot or fryer to 350°F.

07 - Dip each beef frank piece into the batter, coating it completely. Let excess batter drip off.

08 - Carefully lower the battered franks into the hot oil. Fry in batches for 2–3 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown and crisp.

09 - Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauces.

01 -

Theyre impossibly adorable and disappear faster than you can fry them
The batter stays perfectly crispy while the franks get irresistibly juicy inside
Kids and adults alike go absolutely wild for these bite-sized treats

02 -

If your batter is too thick, add another tablespoon of milk until it reaches a honey-like consistency
overcrowding the oil will drop the temperature and make the coating soggy, so fry in small batches

03 -

Pat the franks extra dry before coating, otherwise the batter slides right off
Let the batter rest for 10 minutes before using for even better coating coverage
