Corn Dogs

Method

Corn Dogs

  1. 1

    Prepare the Hot Dogs

    Insert a wooden skewer into each hot dog, pushing it through the center until it reaches the end.

  2. 2

    Make the Batter

    In a large bowl, combine cornmeal, all-purpose flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt. Whisk together until evenly mixed.

  3. 3

    Mix Wet Ingredients

    In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg and milk until well combined.

  4. 4

    Combine Mixtures

    Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. The batter should be thick and can cling to the hot dogs.

  5. 5

    Heat the Oil

    In a large pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

  6. 6

    Coat the Hot Dogs

    Dip each skewered hot dog into the batter, coating it completely. Allow any excess batter to drip off.

  7. 7

    Fry the Corn Dogs

    Carefully place the coated hot dogs into the hot oil, a few at a time, and fry until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes, turning occasionally.

  8. 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.
