Corndogs

Serves 6

Corndogs are definatley one of the unhealthiest foods you could possible eat, however they are amazing; and anyway the occasional rare treat won’t do you harm. Corndogs are of course American fast food, they are frankfurters on a stick wrapped in a thick batter then deep fried. Anything served on a stick is instantly great and deep frying instantly makes something tastier, especial corndogs.

This is a perfect recipe if you are feeling a bit naughty, it is fun, quick, messy and calorific. A great treat to accompany a film or a lazy weekend.
