Guest guest Posted October 18, 2004 Report Share Posted October 18, 2004 Hey Everyone, I found this recipe this weekend and tried it with my kids. They loved it. They don't like the vegan version of "pigs in a blanket" but they loved the Smart Dogs done in cornbread. I veganized the recipe and added Nutritional Yeast (NY) to make it more nutritious. You can omit the NY if you'd like but then you'll need to reduce the liquid amount to 1/3 cup rather than 1/2 cup. I served the Dippy Dogs with French bakes sprinkled with NY and brussels sprouts. They loved it. God's Peace, Gayle Dippy Dogs One package Smart Dogs4 tablespoons oil (or more if needed)Yellow self-rising corn meal 1 1/2 teaspoons Egg Replacer mixed with 2 Tbls water 1/3 cup Nutritional Yeast 1/2 cup liquid of your choice (i.e. soy, rice, oat, almond milk, etc... or maybe even veg broth) Mix together corn meal, Egg Replacer and water, Nutritional Yeast, and liquid. Cut Smart Dogs in half and drop into cornbread meal mixture. Spoon onto hot griddle (lightly oiled if not non-stick), brown on both sides. Serve with ketchup or mustard.

Guest guest Posted October 19, 2004 Report Share Posted October 19, 2004 Wow! This sounds fantastic. I can't wait to try it. The only question I have is about the self-rising corn meal. I haven't heard of this. Can you tell me what is in it so I can approximate the ingredients? Thanks for sharing.

Guest guest Posted October 19, 2004 Report Share Posted October 19, 2004 Variations we've tried on the recipe for veggie corn dogs: Add finely minced onion to the batter for a hush puppy flavor. Add cajun spice to the batter. Slice the weenies into 1/2 " or thinner; pour out the batter onto the griddle as you would cook a pancake; place slices of weenie into the batter -- you can make faces or patterns; turn over like cooking a pancake; serve with mustard, tartar sauce or ketchup. -- Dick Ford www.dick-ford.com Be kind.

Guest guest Posted October 19, 2004 Report Share Posted October 19, 2004 Gayle, This recipe looks great and I'm definitely going to try it but I'm wondering how much corn meal it calls for. Also, I've never seen self-rising corn meal; could I add a teaspoon of baking powder to regular old corn meal, do you think? Terry P.S. I'm very impressed that your kids will eat brussels sprouts. I love them but my son won't go near them. - quintmom Monday, October 18, 2004 10:09 AM Kid's Recipe Hey Everyone, I found this recipe this weekend and tried it with my kids. They loved it.

Guest guest Posted October 22, 2004 Report Share Posted October 22, 2004 Someone asked me how much self-rising cornmeal needed to be used in this recipe. Sorry that I didn't include that. The recipe says that you can use one package of Jiffy Cornbread mix OR yellow, self-rising cornmeal. It doesn't give an actual amount for the cornmeal. I mixed all the ingredients except the corn meal and then added the cornmeal until I got the consistency I wanted (about the consistency of thick pancake batter). I have to go grocery shopping today. I'll look for the Jiffy cornbread mix and find out how much it has in the box as I assume that the amount of cornmeal will be the same amount as the dry Jiffy mix. As far as self rising yellow cornmeal goes, we have that particular product here in the south (unbelievable, huh? <g>) I think adding baking powder to the cornmeal or even just to the final product would work too. Actually, I used non self-rising cornmeal straight and it worked fine. Maybe just use heaping teaspoons of Egg Replacer (which I always do anyway) instead of adding the baking powder?

Guest guest Posted October 22, 2004 Report Share Posted October 22, 2004 I would use the yellow, self-rising cornmeal rather than the Jiffy Cornbread mix because the Jiffy Cornbread mix is made with Lard. My daughter had used it for years totally unaware of there being Lard in the ingredients because none of the other Jiffy products contain lard. She just took for granted that all of the Jiffy mixes did not have lard. It is good to check the ingredients and be safe and not sorry.

Guest guest Posted October 23, 2004 Report Share Posted October 23, 2004 You're right, Donna. That's why I didn't put Jiffy mix in the original e-mail and why I don't use it. Ugh! There are other cornbread mixes out there that are vegan but as of yet, I haven't found one I like. It's both easier and cheaper to just use the cornmeal.

Guest guest Posted December 19, 2004 Report Share Posted December 19, 2004 Thanks for the recipe. I'd like to try it. What does the self-rising corn meal have in it? Do you suppose I can just add that to regular corn meal?
