Ingredients
12 large jalapeños
6 slices American cheese, cut in half
12 mini cocktail weiners
1 c. all-purpose flour
1 c. finely ground cornmeal
1 1/2 c. whole milk
1 large egg
1/4 c. unsalted butter, melted
2 tsp. granulated sugar
2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
Vegetable oil, for frying
Preparation
Step 1Make a slice down one side of each jalapeño and use a spoon to remove seeds (don’t forget to wash your hands or wear gloves, especially if you are sensitive to spice). Wrap cocktail wieners in American cheese and place inside jalapeño. Step 2In a large bowl, combine flour, cornmeal, milk, egg, melted butter, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Stir until smooth and season with salt and pepper. Step 3In a heavy bottomed pot, add enough oil to come 1” up the sides. Heat until hot. Step 4Transfer corn dog batter to a glass. Holding each popper by the stem, dip into batter. Step 5Working in batches, fry corn dogs until they are golden on the outside and cooked on the inside, about 4 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel lined plate and let cool slightly before serving.
