Mini Corn Dogs for Kids
Simple and Delicious Mini Corn Dog Recipe
The perfect snack for kids before they head to after-school classes! These mini corn dogs are a guaranteed hit for children who love sausages. They’re easy to make at home and offer a delightful balance of sweet and savory flavors.
Main Ingredients- 60 Vienna sausages
Batter & Frying- 500ml pancake mix
- 200ml milk
- 2 eggs
- 2 cups vegetable oil (for frying)
- 500ml pancake mix
- 200ml milk
- 2 eggs
- 2 cups vegetable oil (for frying)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
To ensure the Vienna sausages have a pleasant, firm texture, briefly blanch them in boiling water. This step also helps to remove excess oil from the surface of the sausages, resulting in a cleaner fried exterior.
Step 2
After blanching, gently pat the sausages dry with paper towels. Then, to make them easy for children to hold and eat, insert a toothpick into the end of each sausage. They’ll look like adorable mini lollipops!
Step 3
In a bowl, combine the pancake mix, milk, and eggs. Whisk until you achieve a smooth batter with no lumps. (Pancake mix typically contains sugar, so no additional sweetener is usually needed.) The batter consistency should be neither too thick nor too thin – just right to coat the sausages evenly. Dip each toothpick-skewered sausage into the batter, ensuring it’s fully coated. Heat about 2 cups of vegetable oil in a deep pan over medium-high heat (around 350-375°F or 170-180°C). Carefully place the battered sausages into the hot oil. Fry for about 2-3 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are golden brown and crispy. Be mindful of the oil temperature; if it’s too low, the corn dogs will absorb too much oil, and if it’s too high, the outside might burn before the inside is cooked.
Step 4
Once fried to a beautiful golden color, remove the mini corn dogs and place them on a wire rack or paper towels to drain any excess oil. Serve them warm for the best crispy outside and chewy inside experience! They are delightful served with ketchup or mustard. These simple yet special mini corn dogs are sure to be a hit for your children’s snack time.
