State Fair inspired Baby Sausage Dogs has cornmeal breading on a Lil smokey sausage. You can make this kid-approved, family favorite any time of year!

I had an idea to tempt Lincoln to try new food. You see, he’s a terribly picky eater. I totally understand that.

I wanted to make small corn dogs, but I knew Lincoln would not dare try them. Usually, if he helps make something, he’ll at least try it. I thought if we used Lil Smokies instead of hot dogs that I would have a better chance.It was a total success. Both Lincoln and Ryder helped make these Baby Sausage Dogs. And both ate and liked them! Score!!

These are my two babies! Lincoln and Ryder. They’re as different as daylight and dark. Lincoln (left) won’t at anything. Ryder eats everything. We actually did a Fifty New Foods Challenge for Lincoln last year to try and expand his food appreciation.Here are a couple of dishes that he tried and liked!
Chicken Taco Bites
JP’s Steak Bites
Molasses Glazed Pork Tenderloin

We’re still working on fruits and vegetables!

This is the first time we let him fry something.
I would be super careful if you have little ones frying.

Once you add the skewer to oil, rotate it for about 20 seconds so
 that the batter will be smooth around the dog.

    If I make this the night before how can I store it? Can I put them in a container and in the fridge?

      Yes, after they’re cooked, store in an airtight container where they’re not touching or they’ll stick. They you can heat them up in the oven or microwave, the oven will make the outside crisper

    Do I need to keep the cocktail links
    on the skewers while cooking them?

      You don’t have to you could just drop them in. I did put the skewers on before I cooked them and used them as a handle to hold in the oil.

    Good idea!!! None of my bunch are fans of hot dogs either… and Bo is my picky one. I’m not good at deep frying though… think the stove eye is not getting hot enough? I have a baby fry daddy somewhere I got as a wedding gift we should be using! Any tips for deep fat frying?

      I have to use a thermometer to keep the temp right, that’s the key. But we don’t fry very often. And do it outside if you can or else boil water and white vinegar on the stove to get rid of the smell.

    Yum. That's so cool that your boys loved them. I have picky eaters too. Having them help cook helps. Sometimes. Sometimes they see what I'm putting in something and turn up their noses =o) These look great, tho. Totally going to try them. Thanks! (And the Oreos!!!)

    Looks like a fun project, but you definitely have to do it with older kids who can stay focused on what they're doing and take the job seriously. I'm scared to death to have hot oil around kids. My cousin had a whole fryer of oil spill on her when she was 3 years old because her older sister came in from outdoors and tossed her jacket.
