Mixing the Batter
Creating a smooth, flavorful coating is key to perfect Mini Corn Dogs.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the egg, 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil, sugar, and milk. Stir in the vinegar, cornmeal, flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and a pinch of cayenne pepper. Mix until the batter is smooth and slightly thin. Let the mixture sit for about 10 minutes before moving on.
Prepping the Hot Dogs
Turning simple hot dogs into delicious mini bites.
Cut each hot dog into 6 equal pieces. Lightly grease two 12-cup mini muffin tins using the remaining 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil. Fill each muffin cup with batter, then gently press a hot dog piece into the center of each one.
