Ree likes to serve corn dogs when she’s settling down to watch a big game on TV. Here she’s used jalapeño Cheddar smoked sausages, but the recipe will work well with other flavors or regular sausages.

Ingredients

Directions

Special equipment:
a deep-fry thermometer; 8 wooden skewers
  1. In a bowl, stir together the flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, seasoning salt and black pepper. Add the buttermilk and egg, then stir until smooth. Transfer to a tall glass or mason jar. Set aside.
  2. Heat 3 inches vegetable oil to 350 degrees F in a large heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat.
  3. Skewer the sausages, going two-thirds of the way through. Set aside.
  4. Working in batches of two, dip the first sausage into the batter, rolling it to completely coat. Carefully add to the hot oil, repeating with a second sausage.
  5. Fry the corn dogs until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove to a paper towel-lined sheet tray. Repeat with the remaining sausages.
  6. Serve hot with mustard and ketchup.
