Bite-Sized Corn Dogs: A Fun and Dippable Snack for Kids.
Bite-sized corn dogs are the perfect snack or meal for kids, offering all the fun of traditional corn dogs in a smaller, more manageable size. They’re great for dipping, easy to make, and sure to be a hit with the whole family.
Start with your favorite hot dogs or sausages. Cut each one into 2-inch pieces, making them the perfect size for little hands. Pat the pieces dry with a paper towel to help the batter stick.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together:– 1 cup of cornmeal– 1 cup of all-purpose flour– 2 tablespoons of sugar
– 1 teaspoon of baking powder– A pinch of saltIn a separate bowl, combine 1 egg, 1 cup of milk, and 1 tablespoon of melted butter. Mix the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until smooth. Pour the batter into a tall glass for easy dipping.
Insert toothpicks, skewers, or popsicle sticks into each hot dog piece, leaving enough length for a handle.
Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) or heat oil in a deep pan to 350°F (175°C). Dip each hot dog piece into the batter, ensuring it’s fully coated.
Gently place them in the air fryer basket or hot oil. Cook in batches for about 6–8 minutes, turning halfway, until golden brown.
Serve the bite-sized corn dogs warm with kid-friendly dips like ketchup, mustard, or honey. These mini corn dogs are perfect for parties, lunchboxes, or any time kids need a fun and tasty snack!
