Bacon-Wrapped Corn Dogs: A Texas Tradition Worth Celebrating
Who can resist a bacon-wrapped corn dog? This delicious treat is a staple in Texas cuisine, particularly when Texas Independence Day rolls around. This year, why not celebrate with a homemade version of this classic dish? With the right ingredients and a bit of time, you can create a mouthwatering feast that your family and friends will love.
A Recipe Born from Texas Pride
As a Texan, I have a deep appreciation for the bold flavors that our state is famous for. From BBQ to Tex-Mex, and even to fair foods like corn dogs and anything deep-fried, there’s a wide range of tastes to explore. One of my favorite ways to celebrate these flavors is with a delicious bacon-wrapped corn dog, made with quality ingredients from our local H-E-B.
Quality Ingredients for a Delicious Meal
When it comes to bacon, there’s no brand quite like Wright Brand Bacon. This thick-cut, hickory-smoked bacon delivers a bold flavor that is perfect for wrapping around a juicy hot dog. Combine this with a homemade cornmeal batter, and you’ll have a dish that’s sure to impress.
Here’s What You’ll Need:
- 1 pkg 40oz. Wright Brand Bacon in the Hickory Smoked flavor
- 3 pkg Cheddar Hot Dogs
- 2 c Cornmeal
- 2 c Flour
- ½ c Sugar
- 2 tbs Baking Powder
- ½ tsp Salt
- 2 Eggs (Beaten)
- 2 ½ c Milk or Buttermilk
- 2 tbs Vegetable Oil
- 2 tbs Honey
- 24 Cake Pop Sticks
- 48 Toothpicks
- Oil for Frying
Now, Let’s Get Cooking:
- Wrap each hotdog with one strip of bacon, using two toothpicks to hold it in place.
- Grill or fry the bacon-wrapped hotdogs until the bacon is crispy, then let them cool.
- While the hotdogs are cooling, mix together the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl.
- Beat the eggs and mix them in, along with the milk, vegetable oil, and honey. You should end up with a smooth batter.
- Pour some of the batter into a cup large enough to dip the hotdogs into, then remove the toothpicks from the bacon-wrapped dogs. Make sure there is no moisture (grease) on them by using a paper towel.
- Stick a cake pop stick into each hotdog about halfway, then dip the hotdog into the batter and straight into the fryer.
- Fry each one for 2-3 minutes, or until golden, then remove and place on paper towels to drain any excess oil.
- Repeat this process for each bacon-wrapped hotdog, and you’ll end up with 24 delicious corn dogs!
