Ingredients
2 quarts vegetable oil for frying, or more as needed
3 tbsp lukewarm water
1 tbsp flaxseed meal
1 cup gluten-free all-purpose flour blend, divided (3/4 cup + 1/4 cup)
3/4 cup fine or medium ground cornmeal
2 tbsp granulated sugar
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp xanthan gum (omit if using a flour blend with xanthan)
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/8 tsp black pepper
3/4 - 1 cup alternative milk
2 tbsp honey, optional (see recipe notes)
6 beef hot dogs (or vegan dogs), cut in half crosswise
12 (4-inch) wooden skewers
Ketchup or yellow mustard, for serving
Instructions
- Pour vegetable oil in a large, heavy pot over medium to medium-high heat or place amount of oil needed in a deep fat fryer. Heat oil to 350 degrees F. If using a pot to deep fry, make sure it is deep, rising at least 4-6 inches above the oil to avoid splatters.
- Make flax egg by whisking together water and flaxseed meal. Set aside for 5 minutes.
- Insert skewers into the center of the cut end of each hot dog, going 3/4's into the hot dog. Set aside.
- In a medium bowl, combine flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, salt, xanthan gum, baking soda, and pepper. Whisk to evenly distribute ingredients.
- Return to flax egg and whisk vigorously. Add milk and honey to flax egg and stir to combine. Add to dry mixture and whisk gently to create a smooth batter. Transfer the batter into a tall glass or mason jar.
- Once oil reaches 350 degrees F, roll each hot dog in flour, shaking off excess.
- Dip each into batter, rolling until fully coated, and carefully drop entire stick into oil. Fry, 2 to 3 at a time until deep golden brown, about 3 to 4 minutes. Turn in oil halfway through so they brown evenly. Remove corn dogs from the fat and hold them over the fryer, allowing the excess fat to drain off. Transfer to a baking pan lined with paper towels. Repeat with remaining hot dogs and batter. Make sure you give the oil time to return to temp between each batch.
- Serve warm, accompanied by your favorite ketchup and/or mustard.
Notes
The honey is optional. However, the corn dogs fry up more golden brown with the addition of honey. And besides, Disney's famous corn dogs contain honey in the batter. If you omit the honey, increase the sugar from 2 tablespoons to 3.
