Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 cup fine cornmeal
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
• 0.25 cup unsweetened applesauce
• 8 medium-sized hot dogs
• 4 cups vegetable oil for frying
• 0.25 cup cornstarch
• 8 wooden skewers

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, cornmeal, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Stir well to ensure the dry ingredients are evenly combined.

Step 2

Add the almond milk and applesauce to the dry ingredients. Mix until smooth and no lumps remain, creating a thick batter. Let the batter rest for about 5 minutes.

Step 3

While the batter rests, prepare the hot dogs by cutting each into two equal pieces, making them mini-sized. Insert a wooden skewer into each piece, leaving at least an inch at the bottom for easy handling.

Step 4

Place the cornstarch in a shallow dish and roll each hot dog piece in the cornstarch to lightly coat all over. This helps the batter stick to the hot dogs.

Step 5

Heat the vegetable oil in a deep pot or deep fryer to 350°F (175°C). Ensure there's enough oil to submerge the mini corn dogs completely.

Step 6

Dip each skewered hot dog into the batter, ensuring it is fully coated with a thick layer.

Step 7

Carefully place each battered hot dog into the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry each corn dog for 2-3 minutes or until golden brown, turning occasionally to cook evenly.

Step 8

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

Step 9

Serve warm with your favorite dairy-free dipping sauces, such as ketchup or mustard.
