Sausage banderillas or corndogs, is a typical American recipe. It consists of a frankfurter sausage, punctured with a brochette and wrapped with a tempura of flour, egg and milk. Finally it is fried. It is very cheap and easy to make and as an appetizer it comes "to the hair". These corndogs, are usually sold in the street stalls of large American cities. Let's see now how to make our own sausage banderillas at home
INGREDIENTS FOR 10 SAUSAGE BANDS OR CORNDOGS:
10 Frankfurt-style sausages
200g of normal wheat flour
1 egg
approximately 1/2 glass of milk. The exact amount varies according to the flour used
1 teaspoon salt
Optionally 1 teaspoon of sweet paprika
1 tablespoon of baking powder or baking powder
Frying oil
RECIPE OF SAUSAGE BANDERAS OR CORNDOGS
1.- The first thing is to impale the frankfurter sausages with the skewer sticks. put the brochette on one end, until you reach almost the opposite end of the sausage.
2.- We prepare the tempura. In a bowl we put the flour, the egg, if we want the paprika that will add some flavor and color, the teaspoon of salt, the yeast and the milk. The exact amount of milk varies since it will depend on the size of the egg you have used and the brand of flour since, not all brands absorb the same amount of liquid. We beat it well with a hand rod. Let there be no lumps in the dough. The idea is that, once beaten, the dough sticks a little to the rod but, that falls immediately. That is the exact point we want (a liquid mass, but with enough body)
3.- Put the dough in a tall glass or another tall container.
4.- Now we put the sausages in the glass and we impregnate them well with the dough.
5.- Finally, remove the excess dough and fry them. This mass is very delicate so, the fire should be high but, not too much or if not, it would burn. Once fried, let them rest on absorbent paper before eating.
And ready! As you can see, these sausage banderillas or corndogs can not be easier to make. And it is an excellent appetizer for the smallest of the house (and not so small). There will not be one left over!
