Classic Hot Dog
Ingredients
Step by step process
Preparation
- 1
Get the classic hot dog ready: peel and finely chop the onion, slice the pickles into thin rounds, and have the buns within reach.
- 2
Slit the buns lengthwise, but not all the way through, so they hold their shape when filled.
- 3
Pour water into a pot and bring to a boil.
Cooking
- 4
Bring the water to a boil. Reduce to a gentle simmer, add the sausages, and heat for 4 to 5 minutes. Do not boil vigorously to prevent splitting.
- 5
Meanwhile, heat a dry pan and briefly toast the cut sides of the buns for 30 to 60 seconds until lightly browned.
Assembly
- 6
Place the hot sausage into the warm bun, add the chopped onion and pickle slices.
- 7
Season with ketchup and mustard to taste and serve immediately.
More tips:
Do not boil the sausages in rapidly boiling water. A gentle simmer is enough to keep them juicy and prevent splitting.
Toast the bun dry, without butter. The golden crust holds up beautifully against the moisture from the sausage and condiments.
