I recently met a gentleman (not sure yet...too soon) ,named Cliff, at a market in Cocoa, FL. He showed me an old cook book and a recipe for Corn Doger's. After doing some research, I found it was a line from the movie True Grit when John Wayne played the part of Rooster Cogburn and used Corn Doger's for target practice. Well here is the official recipe from a 1975 Tennessee cookbook.I guess if you can't eat them...shoot them!
Corn Doger
2 cups cornmeal 1 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. soda 2 tbsp. fat
1 tsp. baking powder Buttermilk to make a rather stiff batter
Combine the dry ingredients, add the melted FAT and buttermilk.
Make into small pones (dogers). Bake in greased iron skillet in
hot oven (450 degrees) until golden brown.
Serve with Southern-style cooked vegetables.
