What I don’t fry during the year I decided to do on PratoFundo’s birthday! Another fried recipe with that American touch, the famous Corn Dog.
That doesn’t have a translation or equivalent in Portuguese, so I called it sausage breading.
It’s a very common dish at American fairs and festivals, basically it’s a sausage covered in a thicker dough made with corn flour. And all of this is deep-fried. Yes, it is swimming in the oil.
I’ve wanted to test the pasta in Vi for a good few years, as it’s something a little different from what we find in Brazil. The mass tends towards the bittersweet side Even, the amount of sugar and salt can be considered questionable. But they directly influence the final flavor.
And yes, people. I know, I know, how sausage is made. It’s not an item that I consume very often, sometimes I get the urge to eat it. What do we do? Eat, huh. 🙂
The original recipe said that the quantities would be enough for 8 sausages. It’s enough for much more, around 12-13 units. If you want to make half the recipe just to test, that’s an option, the dough makes a lot.
Corn Dog: Sausage Bread
Makes: 12 – 14 units
- 380 g wheat flour
- 50 g Corn meal (cornflour)
- 130 g crystal Sugar
- 06 g chemical baking powder (about 1 tsp)
- 14 g refined salt (about 2-1/4 tsp)
- 03 eggs (shakes)
- 290 mL leite integral (or skimmed)
- 12-14 sausage (boiled and dried)
- Wooden ice cream sticks
- vegetable oil (to fry)
1 cup: 250mL | 1 tablespoon: 15mL.
- In a bowl, mix all the ingredients, except the sausage and oil.
- Stir very well, it should be homogeneous. It may be necessary to add another 20mL of milk.
- Skewer the sausages with ice cream sticks. The sausages must be dry.
- Transfer the dough to a container or tall/cylindrical glass to make it easier to spread the dough on the sausages.
- Dip the sausages in the batter and remove carefully to leave an even layer.
- Fry in hot oil (~120ºC). Place carefully, hold by the toothpick and let it fry for 10-15 seconds before dropping it into the oil so that it forms a pre-cooked film and the corn dog doesn’t stick to the pan.
- Fry until golden.
