French fry coated hotdog on a stick. Ingredients: One Hotdog French Fries Oil for deep frying Batter Ingredients: 100gm of plain flour 75gm of cornmeal 1 egg 2 teaspoons of sugar half a cup of milk Instructions: Mix together the dry batter ingredients, add the egg and the milk. Mix to a thick paste, adding more milk if it is too dry: you’re aiming at the batter being thick and sticky rather than runny like a real corn dog batter, slightly more viscous than a dough. Set aside. Coat the hotdog in the batter, then stick the french fries to the dog as best you can. Drop this beast back into the boiling oil and fry until the french fries begin to brown. Remove from the oil and poke a stick into it.

Turtle Burger 4 lbs of ground beef 10 hot dogs of your choice 4 slices of American Cheese 2 lbs of bacon Instructions: Form 4 patties and make them oval like a turtle body. Using a finger make 4 holes at the bottom in each corner of the patty for the legs. Make one hole in the center front from the top for the head. Cut hot dogs in half and insert each half in the holes of the burgers. It will require quite a lot of handling the meat and reforming it, but give yourself a little time and they will eventually look good. Cut the hot dogs at the end to simulate the “toes” on each foot Place a slice of cheese on the top of each turtle. Now form a small blanket of bacon like in the pictures to a size that will cover the back of the turtle. Once formed place the bacon blanket on the back of the turtle. You may also just make the blanket directly on the back of the turtle. Heat an oven to 400F and place turtles in the oven for 30-40 minutes until bacon is nice browned and crispy. You may want to use a meat thermometer to check the doneness of the meat (130F for medium).
