Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 cup yellow cornmeal
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup melted butter
  • 1 egg
  • 8 hot dogs
  • 8 wooden skewers or popsicle sticks
  • Vegetable oil, for frying

Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, melted butter, and egg. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Avoid overmixing, as it can result in a denser batter.
  3. Insert the wooden skewers or popsicle sticks into the hot dogs, leaving a handle to hold onto.
  4. Heat vegetable oil in a large pot or deep fryer to about 350°F (175°C).
  5. Dip each hot dog into the batter, coating it evenly. Allow any excess batter to drip off, then carefully place the coated hot dogs into the hot oil. Fry for about 3-4 minutes or until the batter turns golden brown. Cook in batches, if necessary, to avoid overcrowding the pot.

Notes

The batter should be thick enough to coat the hot dogs, but not overly thick. If the batter is too thin, add a little more cornmeal. If it’s too thick, add a splash of milk. When frying, try to maintain a consistent oil temperature of around 350°F (175°C). If the oil is too hot, the outside will cook too quickly while the inside remains undercooked.

If it’s too cool, the corn dogs will absorb more oil and become greasy. Serve your homemade corn dogs with your favorite condiments such as ketchup, mustard, barbecue sauce, or even a side of cheese sauce for dipping. Enjoy!
