Ingredients

• 8 pieces vegan sausages
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 cup cornmeal
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
• 1 tablespoon ground flaxseed
• 2 tablespoons water
• 0.5 cup cornstarch
• 4 cups vegetable oil
• 8 pieces wooden skewers

Directions

Step 1

Start by soaking the wooden skewers in water for 20 minutes to prevent them from burning during frying.

Step 2

In a small bowl, mix the ground flaxseed with water to create a flaxseed egg. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until thickened.

Step 3

Dry the vegan sausages with a paper towel and insert a wooden skewer lengthwise into each one. Set aside.

Step 4

In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, and salt.

Step 5

Add the almond milk and the thickened flaxseed mixture to the dry ingredients, whisking until smooth to form a batter.

Step 6

Transfer the batter to a tall glass to make it easier to coat the sausages.

Step 7

Put the cornstarch in a shallow dish and roll each sausage in it, shaking off any excess.

Step 8

Heat the vegetable oil in a large pot on medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer to accurately gauge the temperature.

Step 9

Dip each cornstarch-dusted sausage into the batter, ensuring it gets fully coated. Let any excess batter drip off.

Step 10

Carefully place the batter-coated sausage into the hot oil. Fry each corn dog for about 3-4 minutes or until golden brown, turning occasionally to ensure even cooking.

Step 11

Remove the corn dogs with a slotted spoon and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

Step 12

Serve the corn dogs warm with your favorite vegan dipping sauces, such as mustard or ketchup.
