🌭 How to Make Homemade Corn Dogs —
Step by Step
Ingredients
8 hot dogs
1 cup cornmeal
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
1 egg
1 cup milk
Wooden skewers
Vegetable oil, for deep frying
Ketchup and mustard, for serving
👩🍳 Step-by-Step Tutorial
Step 1 — Prepare the hot dogs
Pat the hot dogs dry with paper towels. Insert one wooden skewer firmly into the end of each hot dog, leaving enough of the stick exposed to hold it.
Step 2 — Make the batter
In a large bowl, combine the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
Step 3 — Add the wet ingredients
Add the egg and milk. Whisk until you have a thick, smooth batter. It should be thick enough to cling to the hot dogs.
Step 4 — Heat the oil
Pour enough vegetable oil into a deep pot to fully submerge the corn dogs. Heat to about 175–180°C (350–355°F).
Step 5 — Coat the hot dogs
Pour the batter into a tall glass or container. Dip each skewered hot dog into the batter, turning it until completely coated.
Step 6 — Fry the corn dogs
Carefully lower the battered hot dog into the hot oil. Fry for about 3–5 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown and crisp.
Step 7 — Drain
Remove the corn dog with tongs and place it on a paper-towel-lined plate or wire rack to drain excess oil.
Step 8 — Serve
Serve warm with ketchup, mustard, or your favorite dipping sauce. 🌭😋
