TWEET TREATS

bringing you the quirky, funniest and most interesting tweets from Twitter that we came across.

GARDEN UPDATE
 Humid again today. In the paper it said that 29 Palms, not too far from us as the crow flies, had to shut down 15 miles of highway due to flash flooding. 81F at midnight last night. No break from the heat here.

GARDEN GOODIES~SHARE OUR GARDEN RECIPE #0058 COUNTRY FAIR CORN DOGS

The Country Fair is the place to have fun, see exhibits and eat fried foods. Too hot for the Fair, you say? Here is a recipe that allows you to skip the Fair and just eat it at home!

You Will Need:

(1) quart oil for deep frying

(1) cup all-purpose flour
(2/3) cup yellow cornmeal
(1/4) cup white sugar
(1 1/2) teaspoons baking powder
(1) teaspoon salt
(2) tablespoons bacon drippings
(1) egg, beaten
(1 1/4 ) cups buttermilk
(1/2) teaspoon baking soda
(2) pounds hot dogs
wooden sticks
Instructions

Heat oil in a deep fryer to 365 degrees F.In a large bowl, stir together the flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder and salt. Stir in melted bacon drippings. Make a well in the center, and pour in the egg, buttermilk, and baking soda. Mix until everything is smooth and well blended.
Pat the hot dogs dry with paper towels so that the batter will stick. Insert wooden sticks into the ends. Dip the hot dogs in the batter one at a time, shaking off the excess. Deep fry a few at a time in the hot oil until they are as brown as you like them. Drain on paper towels or serve on paper plates.
