For batter:
- 2 cup all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- 3 tablespoons sugar
- 1 ¼ cup lukewarm water
- 1 ½ teaspoon instant dry yeast
Other ingredients:
- 5-6 pieces sausages/hotdogs
- 1 cups panko breadcrumbs
- 1-2 cup frozen french fries thawed and cut into small cubes -optional
- Flour for dredging
- canola oil or corn oil for frying
MAKE THE BATTER:
In a large bowl, combine and mix flour, sugar ,and salt. Make a well in the middle and pour in the lukewarm water in the middle and add the instant yeast. Let it sit for a few seconds to hydrate the yeast a bit.
Using a wooden spoon, mix from the middle going outwards until a wet, sticky dough is formed. Mix until smooth and no longer lumpy and gluten forms, about 3-5 minutes.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the dough rise until it doubles in size.
Once the dough is ready, start to heat about 3-inch oil in a deep pan to 160°C/315°F.
PREPARE THE SAUSAGES
Skewer the sausages on wooden skewers or chopsticks.
Place panko and and cubed French fries, side-by-side on a baking pan or on separate plates. Transfer the batter on a baking pan.
Dredge a sausage in flour coating it thinly, tap to remove excess flour. Roll the sausage in the sticky dough until it wraps around the hotdog.
Now, roll it in the potato cubes, lightly pressing with your hands so they will stick to the dough. Next roll it with panko to fully cover the dough.
Fry coated corn dogs directly in hot oil for about 6 minutes turning it in between once the bottom part turns brown.
Remove the fried corn dog from the oil and liberally dust with sugar then drizzle with ketchup and mustard.
