Corn Dog Doughnuts

Corn Dog DoughnutsSo I recently came up with the idea to make some Corn Dog Doughnuts.

When I Googled it though it turned out that a blog called Easy Toddler Meals had already made them. Yep, I apparently I eat like a toddler. Based on my steady diet of macaroni and cheese, chicken nuggets and peanut butter and jelly sandwiches I guess I already sort of knew that though….

Now, normally if something has been done already I’ll just pass on it and try making something new instead, but for some reason my mind kept coming back to those Corn Dog Doughnuts. Plus I bought a doughnut pan a while back and still haven’t gotten around to using it, so I figured that making them would be the perfect way to break it in!

Also, every time I make a corn dog recipe I get comments from people giving me crap for dipping them in ketchup, but you know what? I’m not going to apologize. I’ll admit it, I put ketchup on my hot dogs and I dip my corn dogs in ketchup and it tastes great! Ideally I prefer a mixture of mayonnaise and ketchup — which I lovingly refer to as “metchup” — but ketchup on its own is pretty great in my book as well.

Funny story — one time I was down in Chicago to see The Lawrence Arms play a show at the Metro when I drank a ton of whiskey and stumbled to the hot dog place across the street to get some food. I ordered cheese fries and a hot dog with nothing but ketchup on it and the guy behind the register stared at me like I just kicked a puppy or something. Just a look of total disgust on his face because I had the audacity to put ketchup on a hot dog. I’m just going to come out and say it though — Chicago-style hot dogs suck. I’m sorry, but they do.

If you want to cover your hot dog with sport peppers, pickle spears, onions, relish, mustard and celery salt though by all means go for it. It’s your food and you should be able to top it with whatever you want. You know what else comes on Chicago-Style hot dogs though? Tomato slices. So tomato slices are cool, but ketchup — which is made from tomatoes — isn’t? It makes zero sense.

Anyway, these Corn Dog Doughnuts are great, and if you make them feel free to eat them with whatever condiment you want. Cover them in mayonnaise or ranch dressing for all I care — I’m not gonna tell you how to live your life. You do you and I’m going to keep doing me, ketchup and all….

    Reminds me of a guy I knew when I was in the Navy. He dipped his french fries in mustard. A real wtf moment for me.
