Have you ever had a corndog? I haven’t, at least not until I made these puppies. I’ve seen them at street fairs and county fairs but never got to experience one. Recently, some friends were talking about a restaurant chain called “Hot Dog on a Stick” that I, being an East Coaster, had never heard of. They were discussing how good the corn dogs were and since then, I began craving them. Soon after, I flipped on the Food Channel and saw a show all about “Hot Dog on a Stick”. The cravings intensified. I set out to make my own, but I wanted them to be different. I opted to attempt a baked version, but a good “baked corndog” recipe is difficult to find. I assumed that the coating was basically a variant of cornbread and could be baked in a similar fashion. So I simply modified my Peanut Butter Cornbread recipe to coat these hotdogs, and it was great! I suppose I have nothing to compare it to, but it was moist and flavorful and the hint of peanut butter was a pleasant surprise.
The recipe below is almost identical to the Peanut Butter Cornbread batter except that the amount of liquid is reduced to make it thicker. Depending on the peanut butter you use, you may need to adjust the liquid to get a nice thick batter.
