A Fun Appetizer Recipe For Parties

You can use fresh corn in the summer or frozen corn when you don’t have fresh available, either way these are great for an appetizer, snacking or even dinner.

I came up with this idea after we had gone out for dinner and my little guy ordered a corn dog. He ate a couple of bites and then the whole hot dog came out of the corn dog shell. Then he just ended up eating the hot dog and leaving the corn dog part behind.

Not really a huge problem in the world of food, I know, but I thought if you made a corn dog into a fritter…smaller pieces and bite sized, that might solve the problem.

Basically these are corn fritters with hot dog mixed in. I followed a simple corn fritter recipe and just made a few changes and they turned out pretty tasty.

How Do You Make These Corn Dog Fritters?

All you need to do is cut the corn kernels off a couple of ears of corn and set that aside while you make the batter.

Simple fritter batter, flour baking soda, milk, butter and an egg – mix that all together and add the corn and the chopped up hot dogs.

Drop by big tablespoons into your hot oil and fry a few minutes until they’re golden brown. Just cut one open before you take out a batch from the oil to make sure they are getting cooked through in the center.

Season with kosher salt as soon as they come out of the oil and set on a plate lined with paper towels to drain.

You could serve these Corn Dog Fritters with the standard ketchup or mustard – or we used honey mustard. But they’re fine all on their own too.

And no hot dogs were falling out while we were eating them…
