Corn Dog Bites

CORN DOG BITES/Budget Savvy Diva
 this recipe makes 4 servings
 
Ingredients – 
1 cup flour
 1/4 cup cornmeal
 1/4 cup sugar
 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
 1 teaspoon onion powder
 1 tablespoon baking powder
 1/4 teaspoon salt
 1 cup milk
 8 viennas or sausages – cut into bite size pieces
 Vegetable Oil
 Directions:
 
Pour the vegetable oil into a saucepan – you need about 3cm of oil – heat oil - not too hot/ 
In a medium size bowl mix – 2/3 cup of flour, salt, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, garlic powder, onion powder — mix. Slowly stir in milk
 Place the rest of the flour ( 1/3 cup ) on a plate
 Take each piece of hot dog and roll it in the flour ( this will help the cornmeal onto the dogs )
 Place floured dog into the batter — make sure that there is no hotdog showing
 Drop into the oil — it took about 3 minutes for each to fully cook
 Once your corn dog bite is golden brown take it out of the oil and place on a paper towel
 Serve with some ketchup
 You could bake these bites ( I personally never have) but if you choose to place the battered bites onto a lined cookie sheet and place them in the oven at 180'C. Make sure to flip them after a few minutes
