Ingredients

• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 1 cup Yellow cornmeal
• 1 tablespoon Baking powder
• 0.5 cup Unsweetened protein powder (e.g., whey or pea protein)
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1 large Egg
• 1 cup Milk
• 12 each Hot dogs
• 4 cups Vegetable oil
• 12 each Wooden skewers or toothpicks

Directions

Step 1

Fill a deep pot with vegetable oil, approximately 3 to 4 inches deep, and heat to 350°F (175°C). You can use a thermometer to check the oil temperature.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, yellow cornmeal, baking powder, protein powder, granulated sugar, and salt.

Step 3

In another bowl, beat the egg and mix it with the milk. Add the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until you form a smooth batter.

Step 4

Pat the hot dogs dry with a paper towel to ensure the batter adheres well. Insert a wooden skewer or toothpick halfway into each hot dog.

Step 5

Pour the prepared cornmeal batter into a tall glass for easy dipping.

Step 6

Dip each skewered hot dog into the batter, making sure it's fully coated. Allow excess batter to drip off.

Step 7

Carefully place the battered hot dogs into the hot oil. Fry in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry them for about 3 to 4 minutes or until they turn golden brown.

Step 8

Use a slotted spoon to remove the mini corn dogs from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

Step 9

Allow the corn dogs to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy these high protein mini corn dogs on their own or with your favorite dipping sauces.
