Corn Dog Ingredients

Method

Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Hot Dogs

    Insert a wooden skewer into each hot dog, pushing it in about halfway.

  2. 2

    Make the Batter

    In a mixing bowl, combine the cornmeal, all-purpose flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt. In another bowl, whisk together the milk and egg. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.

  3. 3

    Heat the Oil

    In a large pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).

  4. 4

    Coat the Hot Dogs

    Dip each hot dog into the batter, allowing excess batter to drip off.

  5. 5

    Fry the Corn Dogs

    Carefully place the battered hot dogs into the hot oil, a few at a time. Fry until golden brown, about 3-5 minutes, turning occasionally.

  6. 6

    Drain and Serve

    Remove the corn dogs from the oil and let them drain on paper towels. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauces.
