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
Serves 2-3
1 package hot dogs

Heat oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Meanwhile, mix flour, baking soda, salt, sugar, cornmeal, egg, and water.

Transfer to paper towel, then serve.
