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.

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

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.

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.
