Make the Batter
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are fine.
Preparing Hot Dogs
- 4
Skewer the Hot Dogs
Insert a wooden skewer into each mini hot dog, leaving enough of the stick exposed for easy handling. This will be your corn dog handle.
Frying the Corn Dogs
- 5
Heat Oil
In a deep saucepan or fryer, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
- 6
Coat Hot Dogs
Dip each skewered hot dog into the batter, ensuring it is completely coated.
- 7
Fry Corn Dogs
Carefully place the battered hot dog into the hot oil. Fry for about 3-4 minutes or until golden brown, turning occasionally for even cooking.
- 8
Drain and Cool
Once fried, remove the corn dogs from the oil and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil. Allow them to cool slightly before serving.
