Waffle-Iron Corn Dogs

Ready for a why-didn’t-I-think-of-that moment? Meet your new favourite corn dog.

• 1 tbsp melted butter or olive oil
• 8 hot dogs (we used veggie dogs)
• 1/2 cup cornmeal
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 tbsp sugar
• 2 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp freshly cracked pepper
• 1/2 cup milk
• 1 large egg

Preheat your 4-square waffle iron, and brush the moulds with melted butter or olive oil. Next, skewer each hot dog with a wooden skewer.

In a large bowl, combine the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, salt and pepper. Next, whisk together the milk and egg in a small bowl, pour it over the dry ingredients and mix with a spatula until just combined.

Dip the skewered hot dogs in the cornmeal batter, and place 2 (evenly spaced) in each waffle square with the skewers facing out. Close the lid, and let cook 4 to 5 minutes until crispy and hot. Serve with mustard and ketchup.
