Agave syrup is lower on the glycemic index; sugar is more affordable.

hot dogs

🥗Healthier: chicken or turkey dogs

💰Cheaper: pork hot dogs

Chicken or turkey dogs are leaner options; pork hot dogs are usually cheaper.

vegetable oil

🥗Healthier: canola oil

💰Cheaper: peanut oil

Soak skewers in water to prevent burning.

In a bowl, combine yellow cornmeal, all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.

Add 2 eggs to the dry ingredients and mix well.

Add about 3 tablespoons of honey and gradually mix in roughly 2 cups of milk until the batter is the desired thickness.

Pre-cook hot dogs slightly before coating them with cornstarch to help the batter stick.

Coat each hot dog in cornstarch before dipping into the batter.

Dip each hot dog into the batter, ensuring it's fully coated, and twist to remove excess batter.

Heat a small amount of vegetable oil in a pot, ensuring it's not too full to allow for even cooking.

Carefully lower the coated hot dogs into the hot oil, turning them to brown on all sides.

Remove the corn dogs when golden brown and drain on paper towels.
