Mini Corn Dogs (From Emeril) - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 egg, beaten
1 cup 2% low-fat milk
2 teaspoons Emeril's Original Essence, Seasoning
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
3/4 cup yellow cornmeal
1/2 cup flour
2 teaspoons sugar
salt
cayenne pepper
1 (50 count) package miniature hot dogs
1 cup yellow mustard (recommended 2bleu's Sweet Mustard Sauce for Pretzels and More!)

Preparation

Tip: Dry mini hot dogs with paper towels (rolling a few around at a time). this will help the batter stick to the dogs.
Preheat the fryer. In a mixing bowl, whisk the egg and milk together. Whisk in the Essence, baking powder, cornmeal, flour, and sugar. Whisk until smooth. Season with salt and cayenne.
Spear the sausage links leaving a 1/2-inch from the top. Dip each sausage in the batter, coating the sausage evenly.
Gently lay the corndogs in a deep fryer or pot of hot oil (350F) and fry until golden brown, about 3 to 5 minutes, stirring occasionally for overall browning.
Remove the corndogs from the oil and drain on a paper-lined plate. Season the corndogs with Essence. Serve the corndogs with warm mustard.
