Corn Dogs

I had never had a corn dog in my life until I tried this.  I really did enjoy it.  My daughter Tonia loves corn dogs and that is why I decided to make them.   She also loved this recipe.

~Drip off any excess batter.

~Gently place 2 or 3 corn dogs in hot oil.

~Turn every 15-20 seconds, making sure it browns evenly all around.

~Cook for 3-4 minutes or until a deep golden brown.
