What you'll need

Instructions

  1. Combine the cornmeal, almond flour, baking powder, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, and smoked paprika in a large bowl.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk the egg, milk, and raw honey together, then stir into the dry ingredients until a thick batter forms.
  3. Thread each frank onto a wooden lolly stick and pat the franks dry for easy handling during dipping.
  4. Submerge each skewer in the batter, rolling to coat evenly, then shake off excess.
  5. Heat the avocado oil (at least 2 inches deep) in a heavy-bottomed pot or deep fryer to 375°F.
  6. Carefully fry the corn dogs for 3–4 minutes, turning to brown all sides, until the coating is deep golden and crisp.
  7. Drain on paper towels and serve warm.
