Lutherlyn Corn Dogs

Corn dogs overall are not too expensive, but if your goal is to minimize prepared foods on your menu, then give this a try. Another great benefit to using this recipe verses buying the prepared, you can adjust some of the ingredients for dietary needs. For example using rice / soy milk in place of the buttermilk. You will also reduce waste by not having a stick to toss away.
