Dairy Free Corn Dogs

These dairy free corn dogs are made without milk and are absolutely delicious!

For them to be dairy free, you have to make sure to use kosher hotdogs because non-kosher hotdogs are usually made with milk.

The first time I had a corn dog was the same day I saw Barnum and Bailey, and as it turned out, it was also the last time I'd get to see them.  

It was five or so years before the circus closed and I had seen a poster on the train (subway to those not from New York).

That year the show was to take place at Coney Island instead of Madison Square Garden.

I never went to the circus before because I didn't know when it was in, and knowing it was Madison Square Garden, I assumed it would be expensive.

However, seeing that it was at Coney Island made it seem in reach. So, to my excitement, I went with my friend.

On the way, my friend told me about a sandwich shop he used to love as a kid living in Brooklyn.  

We had time before the show, so we went in search of it near Avenue J.

I'm not sure if we found that same shop, or another one, but on the menu I saw corn dogs.  

I just had to have one!  

I had never eaten a corn dog before and it seemed perfect for the circus.

So, we bought two kosher corn dogs and drove to Coney Island, where we ate them while walking down the boardwalk.

Years later, my mother decided to try to make corn dogs for the family.  They were better than I had remembered the one I had that day.

Since then, these corn dogs have been one of my favorite fun foods.  

They are right up there with Southern fried chicken wings and Buffalo wings.

Equipment

wooden skewers
a pot, preferably an asparagus pot
tall or 8 ounce cup

HOW TO TEST IF BAKING POWDER is STILL GOOD

To test baking powder, pour 3 tablespoons of warm water into a small bowl, add ½ teaspoon of baking powder, and stir.

If the baking powder is good to use, it should fizz a little.

Recipe Tip:

If you plan on making corn dogs often enough, it is worthwhile to invest in an asparagus pot.  These pots are tall and narrow, allowing you to use less oil.
