Ingredients:
| Ingredients | Quantities |
|---|---|
| Cornmeal | 1 cup |
| Flour | 1 3/4 cups |
| Baking powder | 2 tsp |
| Salt | 2 tsp |
| Egg | 1 |
| Sugar | 1/3 cup |
| Milk | (to achieve pancake-like consistency) |
| Hot dogs | 24 |
| Flour (for coating hot dogs) | 24 |
| Oil (for frying) | 2 inches deep, heated to 370°F |
Instructions:
-
Prepare the Batter:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine cornmeal, flour, baking powder, salt, egg, and sugar until well incorporated.
-
Achieve the Right Consistency:
- Gradually add milk to the mixture, stirring continuously, until the batter reaches a pancake-like consistency. It’s crucial not to add too much milk, as the batter won’t cling well to the hot dogs. Conversely, too little milk may result in cracked batter when fried.
-
Prep the Hot Dogs:
- Pat dry the hot dogs using paper towels to remove excess moisture.
- Coat each hot dog with flour, ensuring an even layer.
- Skewer the hot dogs through the center to prepare them for dipping.
-
Heat the Oil:
- In a deep frying pan or pot, heat oil to 370°F (190°C) over medium-high heat.
-
Dip and Coat:
- Dip each skewered hot dog into the batter mixture, ensuring they are evenly coated.
-
Fry to Golden Perfection:
- Carefully place the coated hot dogs into the hot oil and fry until they turn golden brown, approximately 2 1/2 minutes. Be cautious while frying to avoid splatters.
-
Drain and Cool:
- Once cooked, transfer the Pronto Pups to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil and allow them to cool slightly.
-
Utilize Leftover Batter:
- With any remaining batter, drop spoonfuls into the hot oil to create dumplings. Fry until golden brown, then drain on paper towels alongside the Pronto Pups.
-
Serve and Enjoy:
- Pronto Pups are best served hot and crispy, accompanied by your favorite condiments such as ketchup, mustard, tartar sauce, or any dressing of your choice.
Indulge in the irresistible crunch and savory goodness of these Pronto Pups, perfect for gatherings, parties, or simply as a delightful treat any day of the week! With their simple preparation and satisfying taste, they’re sure to become a family favorite in no time.
