Key Ingredients
- 1 Frankfurters (choose your child’s favorite brand)
- 1 Medium Sweet Potato (approx. 150-200g)
- 1 Egg (MokwooChon brand if available)
- 500ml Milk (for batter)
- Approx. 50g All-Purpose Flour (for coating)
- 100g Hot Cake Mix (for batter)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Start by thoroughly washing the sweet potato. Peel it, then dice it finely or grate it. This ensures the sweet potato cooks through and blends nicely with the batter when fried.
Step 2
Cut the frankfurters into bite-sized pieces (about 3-4cm each). Thread them onto skewers. This makes it much easier to coat them evenly with the batter later.
Step 3
In a bowl, combine the hot cake mix and all-purpose flour. Add the egg and 500ml of milk. Whisk everything together until you have a smooth batter with no lumps. The batter should be thick enough to coat the back of a spoon but still pourable. Adjust with a little more flour or milk if needed.
Step 4
Lightly coat each sausage skewer with all-purpose flour. Then, dip them into the hot cake batter, ensuring a good coating. Finally, press the finely diced or grated sweet potato onto the batter, covering the sausage completely. Gently pat it in place.
Step 5
Heat enough cooking oil in a frying pan to about 170°C (340°F). Carefully place the coated hot dogs into the hot oil. Fry them for about 3-4 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are golden brown and crispy on all sides. Ensuring even cooking is key!
Step 6
Once fried to perfection, remove the hot dogs from the oil and place them on paper towels to drain any excess grease. While they are still warm, you can optionally sprinkle them evenly with sugar. This adds a lovely sweet touch that kids will adore.
Step 7
And there you have it – delicious Mini Sweet Potato Hot Dogs! Serve them with ketchup for dipping, and enjoy the fantastic combination of sweet and savory flavors. A perfect homemade snack!
