Vegetarian Corn Dogs

Vegetarian Corn Dogs 

Who doesn't like food on a stick such as lollipops, cotton candy, popsicles and obviously Corn Dogs. Of all food on sticks, corn dogs have always appealed the most to me. But, this dish is usually made with sausages & being a vegetarian meant I could never taste it. After unsuccessfully looking on the internet for a good recipe for Vegetarian Corn Dogs, I came up with my own version of Corn Dogs Veggie Style :). Give this yummilicous kid friendly recipe a try & leave some comments. Hope you enjoy!!! :). 

The batter was inspired by Paula Dean's recipe for Corn Dogs.
