junk food friday - woohoo!

today i decided that it was high time i made some junk food. so may i present, vegan corn dogs and onion rings. yummy deep fried goodness. the batter is simple...

1 cup ground corn meal
1 cup flour
tbsp sugar
tsp salt
tsp cayenne pepper
UNSWEETENED soy milk

all you have to do is roll your smart dogs in corn starch and then cover them in batter and deep fry them. i chose to use the same batter on the onion rings, but honestly i prefer them with a more traditional non-corn based onion ring batter...the recipe for that is:

bowl #1 : unsweetend soy milk + tsp corn starch (for thicknesss)
bowl #2: flour, salt, pepper, tiny bit of corn starch (for sticking to onion ness)

i use big sweet onions for this, first slice them into rings (duh) then dip them in the soy milk bowl and then the flour bowl and fry. it's best to have one hand designated for each bowl to avoid too much stickiness.

everything came out awesome, i wish kjonaas had more teeth so that he could enjoy them. he helped himself to some apple cinnamon puffs and sweet potatoes for breakfast. speaking of kjonaas, look at how freaking cute he is...he is walking now and it's amazing.
