Mini Corn Dogs

Have you ever made a corn dog? Not the kind that you pull out of the freezer and pop into the microwave for a minute. I mean the kind where you actually make the batter and dip the hot dogs yourself, and then cook them. If you haven't, or haven't eaten one someone else was kind enough to make for you, you are missing out. I think that most things are better homemade, and Mini Corn dogs are no exception. They sure are tasty little things. Just ask any one of my kids, they'll tell you!

1 cup buttermilk
1 1/2 cup flour
1 cup yellow corn meal
1/4 cup sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
2 eggs
10-12 hot dogs

Preheat 2 inches of oil in a large skillet to 365 degrees. Whisk together the flour, corn meal, sugar, baking powder, salt, and baking soda in a large bowl. Add buttermilk and eggs then whisk until well combined. Cut hot dogs into thirds and dip in batter. Coat hot dog well and fry in hot oil until golden brown. Drain on paper towels.
