Fast food is gaining more and more popularity. People are looking for quick snacks due to lack of time. Corn dogs have begun to gain popularity lately, but many still don't know what they are. For most, this quick snack seems like a cross between a sausage dough and a hot dog. But it is better to attribute this delicacy to a separate category.

This delicacy was born in the United States of America. Translated from English, corn dog is translated as corn dog. And this dish got its name due to the fact that it is prepared from corn flour. To prepare it, you need to knead a very thick dough, reminiscent of batter. Then a sausage is dipped into it, put on a skewer. It is better to dunk vertically, then the dough will evenly cover the sausage, and the finished dish will look more appetizing. After that, it is deep-fried or fried with a large amount of oil.
Frozen Corn Dogs can be found in the frozen food section in US stores. These cooked foods can be simply roasted in the oven or microwave, but they will not have a golden crisp.
This instant dish can be served with a variety of sauces. At home, they love to eat it with mustard or ketchup.
To prepare root dogs, you should take equal quantities of wheat and corn flour and mix them well. After that, salt, baking powder, an egg and a small amount of milk are added to the flour mixture. The dough should be very thick to stick well to the sausage. Before being dipped in the dough, the sausage should be rolled in flour, otherwise the dough will not stick to it. To evenly cover the sausage with the dough, it should be transferred to a deep container. After that, the corn dog is deep-fried or baked in a sausage machine.
