Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 cup yellow cornmeal
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 1.25 cups buttermilk
• 1 whole large egg
• 8 pieces hot dogs
• 8 pieces popsicle sticks or skewers
• 4 cups vegetable oil (for frying)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.

Step 2

In a separate bowl, lightly beat the egg and mix it with the buttermilk.

Step 3

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until you have a smooth, thick batter. Transfer the batter to a tall, narrow glass or jar to make dipping easier.

Step 4

Pat the hot dogs dry with paper towels to ensure the batter sticks well. Insert a popsicle stick or skewer into each hot dog, leaving about 2 inches of the stick as a handle.

Step 5

In a large, deep saucepan or fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Make sure there is enough oil to fully submerge the corn dogs.

Step 6

Dip each hot dog into the batter, ensuring it’s fully coated. Gently twist the hot dog as you lift it out to help prevent batter drips.

Step 7

Carefully lower the battered hot dogs into the hot oil, frying 2-3 at a time to avoid overcrowding. Fry for about 3-4 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown and crispy.

Step 8

Using tongs or a slotted spoon, transfer the corn dogs to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.

Step 9

Serve warm with your favorite condiments like ketchup, mustard, or honey mustard. Enjoy!
