Ingredients

Scale

Hotdog Buns

  • 4 medium chicken hotdogs
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon red pepper
  • 1 medium egg
  • ½ cup milk or water
  • Oil for frying (enough for deep frying)

Sauce/Dip

  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons ketchup
  • 2 teaspoons yellow mustard
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Prepare the skewers: Cut skewers into 3-4 inch pieces and rinse them; toothpicks can be used if skewers are not available.
  2. Cut and skewer hotdogs: Slice each hotdog into 5-6 equal pieces and gently poke each piece onto a skewer or toothpick to secure it.
  3. Flour the hotdog pieces: Lightly roll each hotdog piece in flour to help the batter adhere better, then shake off excess flour and set aside.
  4. Mix dry ingredients: In a bowl, combine all-purpose flour, baking powder, sugar, salt, and red pepper, mixing well for an even blend.
  5. Add wet ingredients: Create a well in the dry mix, crack in the egg, and pour the milk or water. Stir until the batter is smooth; adjust thickness by adding more water or flour as needed.
  6. Heat the oil: Heat oil in a deep pan over medium heat. Test readiness by dropping a bit of batter in; it should sizzle and float.
  7. Batter the hotdogs: Dip each floured hotdog piece fully into the batter, ensuring an even coating.
  8. Fry the buns: Carefully place battered hotdogs into the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry for 5-6 minutes, turning occasionally until golden brown and crispy.
  9. Drain excess oil: Remove fried buns and drain on paper towels or a metal sieve to remove excess oil.
  10. Prepare the sauce: Mix mayonnaise, ketchup, yellow mustard, and black pepper in a small bowl until smooth and well combined.
  11. Serve and enjoy: Serve the mini hotdog buns warm with the prepared dipping sauce. Remember to remove toothpicks or skewers before serving to children.

Notes

  • Use chicken hotdogs for a lighter flavor; pork or beef hotdogs can be substituted as desired.
  • Adjust red pepper quantity to control the spiciness of the batter.
  • Ensure the oil is hot enough before frying to achieve a crispy texture without absorbing excess oil.
  • Serve immediately for the best taste and crunchiness.
  • Remove the skewers or toothpicks before serving to kids to avoid choking hazards.
  • The dip can be customized by adding hot sauce or herbs for extra flavor.
