Batter

Mini Corn Dogs

Method

Batter Preparation

  1. 1

    Mix Dry Ingredients

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

  2. 2

    Combine Wet Ingredients

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

  3. 3

    Combine Mixtures

    Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not over-mix; a few lumps are okay.

Corn Dog Preparation

  1. 4

    Prepare Hot Dogs

    Insert a wooden skewer into each hot dog, pushing it in about halfway. This will make them easy to dip and fry.

  2. 5

    Heat Oil

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

  3. 6

    Dip and Fry

    Dip each skewered hot dog into the batter, ensuring it is completely coated. Carefully place it into the hot oil. Fry in batches, avoiding overcrowding, for about 3-4 minutes or until golden brown.

  4. 7

    Drain and Cool

    Using a slotted spoon, remove the mini corn dogs from the oil and let them drain on a paper towel-lined plate. Allow to cool slightly before serving.
