Servings: 12 corn dogs
Calories: 226kcal
Equipment
- wooden skewers approx 6 inches
- Bowl
- glass
- large pot
- food thermometer
Ingredients
- 12 hot dogs
- Wooden skewers
- 1 cup fine yellow cornmeal
- ¾ cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons white sugar
- 3 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- Oil for frying
Instructions
- Heat 3 inches of oil in a large deep pot to 350°F measured with a food thermometer.
- Dry each hot dog with paper towels (this will help the batter to stick). Insert a wooden skewer into each hot dog.
- TIP: Make sure that the hot dog and skewer will fit into your pot. If necessary, you can cut each hot dog in half, or leave less of the skewer sticking out.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, and oil.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and whisk until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Pour the corn dog batter into a tall glass (do this in batches).
- Dip each hot dog down into the batter, then slowly pull it out while gently twirling the stick, making sure to coat it evenly. Re-dip if it’s not completely coated.
- Fry the corn dogs in batches for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
- Remove with tongs, drain on paper towels, and serve immediately.

Notes
- For a crispy batter, use cold milk and eggs.
- To prevent the batter from falling off the hot dogs, make sure to coat them evenly and press down on the batter after dipping them.
- If you don't have a deep fryer, you can fry the corn dogs in a large skillet with enough oil to cover them halfway.
- Serve the corn dogs with your favorite dipping sauce, such as ketchup, mustard, or ranch dressing.
