I got this recipe some time ago. Finely made them night before last. Silly me it was more batter then I had hot dogs. Now I need to know if any one knows this recipe and can tell me if I can freeze the rest of the batter for later use with out harming it. Here is the recipe which is a GREAT one by the way.

By Belinda Meeker.

Ingredients:
6 cups gluten-free cornmeal
3 cups gluten-free flour
2 ½ teaspoon baking soda
1 ½ teaspoon salt
1 – 1 ½ cups sugar
3 cups buttermilk
2 ½ cups water
2 eggs (beaten)

Directions:
In a large mixing bowl add all dry ingredients and mix well. Add buttermilk and water and add in beaten eggs and mix well. If batter becomes stiff add small amounts of water, but not too much (I use a 40 ounce drinking glass and fill with mix to dip in prepared dogs). Dry off the hot dogs then roll them in gluten-free corn starch and tap well to move excess. Place your stick in dog and dip quickly into batter mixture then straight to the fryer cook until they are golden brown (4-5 minutes) and place them on paper towels until they are cool. I wrap each one in wax paper and freeze until we eat them and pop them in microwave to heat.

Thank you,

It appears to me that it would freeze OK. The consistency might change a bit after freezing. I'd try it and then when you go to use it next time, just do one or two dogs and have a taste test before you fry a whole batch.

I don't know about the freezing - but THANK YOU so much for the recipe! My little girl was close to tears at the healthfood store last weekend. She was so excited to see gluten-free corn dogs, but they were more than $8 for a box of 6.

I don't know if those are the same as the ones I bought, but the ones that I bought (at Meijer) were NASTY. Paid $8 for the box and then threw them away after the first time. I made my own after that (similar recipe) and it was so much cheaper and tasted much much better. The cooked product does freeze well. I made a big batch and froze the left overs and got them out and reheated in the oven as needed!!

is there a way to bake something like this? deep frying doesn't bode so well for my smoke alarm (kitchen pyrotechnics anyone?) or my waistline for that matter

I don't know about freezing the batter but if you throw some chopped onion and green pepper in there I bet it would make a mean hushpuppy!

One way to do this might be to make corn muffins, and stick a piece of hot dog down into the batter before baking.

Now that sounds interesting. I thought about trying to use it for cornbread but 2 ingredients are different in the 2 recipes. Cornbread has the oil and baking powder I think it was. So I don't think that would work with what is already in it. But I am liking the hushpuppy idea.

gdobson, yes you really need to try these they are GREAT. My wife and son who are not gluten free loved them also. But unless you have a ton of hot dogs you may want to cut the recipe in half.

Thank you all again for the help on this,

Grump,
LoL sorry but this just made my day
I did too have way too much the first time I made this, but I took onion rings and dipped into the batter also took gluten-free cheese and made it into stick's and I used chicken tenders on a stick and they were all a great I'm not sure about freezing the mix tho, but it kept for 3 days the second time til I got more hotdogs.....I should of posted that I make up 4 packages of dogs and they freeze really well for later use, my son takes them in his lucnh to work and he has his own micro on the job truck so they heat even crispy if u do wht I do , after I let them drip free on paper towels I place them on a paper towel'd cookie sheet and freeze them then place them in wax paper indv. and just keep them in a plastic uncovered container easy to grab from the freezer
Thanks for enjoying this recp', like we have made it over and over for alomst a year now
