Corn Dog Batter and Filling
Method
Preparation and Cooking
- 1
Prepare the Hot Dogs
Insert wooden skewers into each hot dog, pushing them in about halfway.
- 2
Make the Batter
In a mixing bowl, whisk together cornmeal, flour, baking powder, sugar, salt, and pepper. In another bowl, combine milk and egg, then mix into the dry ingredients until just combined. The batter should be thick.
- 3
Heat the Oil
In a deep pot or fryer, heat vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). You can test the oil by dropping a small amount of batter into it; it should sizzle immediately.
- 4
Coat the Hot Dogs
Dip each skewered hot dog into the batter, ensuring they are fully coated.
- 5
Fry the Corn Dogs
Carefully place the battered hot dogs into the hot oil, a few at a time, and fry for 3-4 minutes or until golden brown. Turn occasionally for even cooking.
