So Corny!

HOMEMADE CORNDOGS!!

I just love going to county fairs and smelling the deep fried corn dogs! These are one of Carlee's favorite treats but with her egg allergy she couldn't have them anymore. She just turned 3 on Sunday so we decided to whip up a batch for her birthday dinner. We even doubled the recipe so I could put some in the freezer for her.


I found a recipe that looked really good off of allrecipes.com and we decided to give it a try. All I had to do was use an egg substitute. Everyone at the party said they were better than store bought!

Cousin Kaitlyn dipped all the corn dogs into a cup. It was much easier to coat them in a cup than the mixing bowl.

My mother in law took over the cooking. Hmmm...now that I think about it I didn't really do much except provide the ingredients!


The birthday girl couldn't wait for her hot dog to cook so she snuck off with just a hot dog on a stick!
