Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup Kroger® Yellow Corn Meal
  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 egg
  • 3/4 cup whole milk
  • 20 Kroger® Cocktail Smokies
  • 1/2 cup cornstarch
  • Canola oil, as needed
  • Mustard, to serve
  • Ketchup, to serve

Directions

  • Fill a heavy-duty 3-quart medium pot with 2” canola oil. Heat on medium until 350°F registers on a thermometer.
  • In a medium bowl, stir together cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and add egg and milk. Stir until mixture is combined.
  • Insert a toothpick into each cocktail dog. Place cornstarch in a shallow dish.
