→ For Frying

10 - Vegetable oil, for deep frying

# Steps:

01 - Pour approximately 5 cm of vegetable oil into a deep skillet and heat over medium until the oil reaches 130°C.
02 - In a small bowl, whisk together buttermilk, egg, and honey until the mixture is homogenous.
03 - In a separate large bowl, whisk together yellow cornmeal, all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
04 - Pour the wet mixture into the bowl of dry ingredients and stir until a smooth, thick batter forms.
05 - Dip 5-6 hot dog pieces into the batter, ensuring each piece is evenly coated; allow excess batter to drip back.
06 - Using tongs or a slotted spoon, gently lower the coated hot dogs into the hot oil. Fry in batches for 3-4 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and crisp. Remove and drain on a cooling rack or paper towel-lined plate.
07 - Continue battering and frying the remaining hot dog pieces in batches, taking care not to overcrowd the pan.
08 - Serve the mini corn dog bites warm, accompanied by ketchup or mustard if desired.
