HOMEMADE MINI CORN DOGS

October 31, 2012

As a child, my husband said his dream job was to be a corndog maker. I was shocked to hear this aspiration, but it represents a little bit of the way David is that makes me love him. Now that I think of it, I never asked him why that’s what he wanted to be. I just asked him. He says, “‘Cause I loved corn dogs.” Case closed, people. Here are some I tried making at home from scratch to hopefully delight the husband for dinner on a weeknight.

HOMEMADE MINI CORN DOGS

Transfer to paper towel, then serve.

    I saw this on pinterest and was wondering, in your pictures it looks like the oil is not on the stove. Are you supposed to take it off the stove once you put the corn dogs in or was this just for pictures? This looks perfect to serve for my little girls birthday in a few weeks.
    Great idea!

      I just removed it from the stove for the picture, but you don’t have to!
