Bite-Sized Delight! Super Simple Recipe for Homemade Mini Hot Dogs
Introducing a recipe for delicious homemade mini hot dogs that are a guaranteed hit with kids! These are perfect for snacks, parties, or any occasion. They taste just like the ones you buy, but are easy to make at home.
Ingredients- 12 Vienna sausages
- 1 cup pancake mix (using a standard paper cup)
- 1 egg
- Milk, as needed for batter consistency
- Wooden skewers or chopsticks (as needed)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, insert a wooden skewer or chopstick into each Vienna sausage. Push it in firmly to ensure it stays secure while frying.
Step 2
In a bowl, combine 1 cup of pancake mix and 1 egg. Gradually add milk while mixing to create a batter. It’s important not to add too much milk at once; add it slowly while checking the consistency. The batter should be thick enough to coat the sausage well when you roll it. A slightly thick batter ensures it clings nicely to the sausage.
Step 3
Dip the skewer-pierced Vienna sausages into the thick pancake batter. Roll them around to ensure the batter evenly coats the entire sausage, forming a nice shape.
Step 4
Now it’s time to fry! Heat enough cooking oil in a pot over medium-low heat. To check if the oil is ready, insert a wooden chopstick; small bubbles should form around it. Carefully place the batter-coated sausages into the hot oil. To get a beautiful, even shape, gently roll the sausage in the oil as you place it in, rather than just dropping it. Fry for about 3-4 minutes, adjusting the heat to prevent burning and ensure the inside is cooked through. Flip them occasionally for even browning.
Step 5
Once golden brown, transfer the mini hot dogs to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. They look incredibly appealing, don’t they? The perfect bite-sized size, crispy exterior, and tender inside make these mini hot dogs a delightful treat!
Step 6
Enjoy these warm, freshly fried mini hot dogs with a sprinkle of sugar or a drizzle of ketchup, according to your preference. They taste amazing, just like store-bought ones! Their convenient size and delicious flavor make them a favorite among children. Make these lovely mini hot dogs for a special snack today!
