For the Corn Dog Batter

Method

Prepare the Batter

  1. 1

    Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, all-purpose flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt until evenly combined.

  2. 2

    Combine Wet Ingredients

    In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg, milk, and vegetable oil until smooth.

  3. 3

    Combine Both Mixtures

    Gradually pour the wet mixture into the dry mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Avoid over-mixing; the batter should be slightly lumpy.

  4. 4

    Heat the Oil

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

Prepare the Corn Dogs

  1. 5

    Insert Sticks

    Insert a wooden skewer or lollipop stick into each hot dog, pushing it halfway through.

  2. 6

    Dip Hot Dogs

    Dip each hot dog into the corn dog batter, ensuring it is fully coated. Allow excess batter to drip off.

  3. 7

    Fry Corn Dogs

    Carefully place the battered hot dogs into the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry for about 3-4 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.

  4. 8

    Drain and Serve

    Remove the corn dogs from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve hot with mustard or ketchup.
