Vegan Corn Dogs (grains)
We can't even begin to describe how good these vegan corn dogs are! All we can say is they are amazing! They're beyond amazing. They should be in a food group all their own. We're not kidding. Not even a little.
Peanut oil (for frying)
1 cup all purpose unbleached flour
1/2 cup corn meal
3 tablespoons sugar
1 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon sea salt
1/2 brick (or 4 ounces) silken tofu
1 1/4 cup non-dairy milk
1 tablespoon agave nectar
8 Tofurky Kielbasa Gourmet Sausages (halved) Or other vegan hot dog of choice
16 wood sticks (disposable "fast-food" style chop sticks work great)
1/3 cup corn starch
Heat oil in a medium sauce pan over medium heat to 365° F. Oil should be at least 2-inches below the rim of the pan. If you don't have a kitchen thermometer, test the oil by carefully dropping a small amount of batter into the oil. It should begin bubbling almost immediately. If oil begins to smoke, it's too hot. If this happens, turn the heat down slightly. The oil should be hot, but not smoking. (this rule applies to all cooking oils).
In a large mixing bowl whisk together the flour, corn meal, sugar, baking powder, soda, and salt. Add the tofu, milk and agave and continue to whisk until well combined. There will be small lumps in the batter, this is okay.
Cut the sausages in half and skewer each one - cut side first using one chop stick. Roll each sausage in corn starch, and set aside. Depending on the size of your pan, roll each sausage in the batter one or two at a time, making sure to coat the entire 'dog'. Slowly submerge the dog into the oil, leaving the stick out. If necessary, turn the dog after about 2 minutes to submerge the opposite side for even cooking. The corndogs will be fully cooked within about 3 to 5 minutes. Once desired color is achieved, carefully remove to a wire rack, or atop a layer of paper towels to drain off the excess oil.
Don't worry if your corn dogs come out looking a little less than perfect. They're better that way! Not only does it not change the deliciousness of these dogs in the least, but that homemade-rustic look is totally awesome!
Serve with your favorite dipping sauces. Refrigerate any leftovers.
