A guilty pleasure.

Who likes a corn dog every now and again?  When you live in a different country you seem to crave the things that you can't have.  I don't think I would eat a corn dog in the states "just because", but since seeing these delicious things on Pioneer Woman, we decided we would give them a try.  We both tried to decide how long it had been since we ate a corn dog and came up with, at least over three years.  Corn dogs seem to be a "kid food" and Ethan was very excited about having them.  He actually ate three of them.  He also said he couldn't wait to go to school and tell his friends that he had corn dogs.  See, I told you it was a kid food.

These corn dogs were so good!  They tasted like a corn dog that you would get at the fair.  Ethan said that he thought they were better than the frozen ones.  And Shannon said that he would never be able to eat a frozen corn dog again.

I know that they are more work than the frozen ones but they are well worth your extra effort.

Don't even look or think about all that grease.   Don't even think about it.

Almost done.

The final outcome.  It's pure deliciousness.  Now, I probably would not eat this on a weekly basis but it's ok now and again.  Don't worry about all those calories you are consuming.  (it's a guilty pleasure)  And hey since your eating a big fat greasy corn dog, why not add fries to that?

And if that big fat greasy corn dog wasn't enough last night.  Guess what you can do with the leftover batter?  That's right, pancakes.  These were really good too.  They tasted a lot like the pancakes that you would get at McDonalds.

The batter was so good that we almost tried to fry some Oreo's but we decided that we had already consumed enough calories.  Oh well, there is always next time.

Want to make you own corn dogs?  All you need is some corn meal (and we used the corn meal that they make here in Ecuador) and some pancake mix.  Get the recipe here.  We love Pioneer Woman!
