DIY: Watermelon Pupsicle
Pronto Pups (Corn Dogs)
This past weekend I was hanging out on the boardwalk and noticed tons of fair food. From funnel cakes and elephant ears to pronto pups (corn dogs) and deep fried Oreos the boardwalk had a wide variety of fried foods. I passed up on the opportunity to indulge, but later found myself making my own batch of corn dogs to have at the beach with friends. They were everything I had hoped for and I think they’ll become a beach staple this summer.
Ingredients
1 1/4 cup flour
1 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup cornmeal
4 Tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
2 eggs
3/4 cup milk
Directions
1. Mix all dry ingredients, and then add eggs and milk. Mix until lump free. Insert a skewer into each hot dog. Dip hot dogs into the batter to coat.
2. Deep fry in hot oil (I did this on the bbq). When light golden brown remove and place on a paper towel.
Makes one package hot dogs with heavy crust or two packages with light.
Holland
A couple of weeks back, we went out to Holland for the afternoon. It’s about an hour and thirty minute drive from my place, but there was no better time to go than during Tulip Time (which you can see here). Holland is a coastal city on the western side of Michigan, which was founded by Dutch Americans. Dutch heritage is still a significant characteristic of the town, which results in your feeling like you are actually in Holland.
they actually make AMAZING whole wheat graham flour in the windmill.
