Method

Preparing the Corn Dog Batter

  1. 1

    Mix Dry Ingredients

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

  2. 2

    Combine Wet Ingredients

    In a separate bowl, beat the egg. Add the milk and vegetable oil to the egg, mixing well.

  3. 3

    Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients

    Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.

Preparing the Corn Dogs

  1. 4

    Prepare Hot Dogs

    Insert a wooden skewer or popsicle stick into each hot dog, pushing it in about halfway.

  2. 5

    Heat Oil

    In a deep pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 375°F (190°C). Use a thermometer for accuracy.

  3. 6

    Dip Hot Dogs in Batter

    Once the oil is hot, carefully dip each hot dog into the corn dog batter, ensuring it is completely coated.

  4. 7

    Fry Corn Dogs

    Gently place the battered hot dogs into the hot oil, frying in batches if necessary. Fry for about 3-4 minutes or until golden brown, turning occasionally for even cooking.

  5. 8

    Drain and Serve

    Remove the corn dogs from the oil and place them on paper towels to drain any excess oil. Serve hot with mustard, ketchup, or your favorite dipping sauce.
