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 large Egg
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
• 8 Hot dogs
• 8 Wooden skewers
• 1 Nonstick cooking spray

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly spray it with nonstick cooking spray.

Step 2

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, yellow cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, and salt until evenly combined.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, egg, and melted butter.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Avoid overmixing; the batter should be slightly thick.

Step 5

Pat the hot dogs dry with a paper towel to help the batter stick better. Insert wooden skewers into each hot dog, leaving enough of the skewer exposed for easy handling.

Step 6

Transfer the batter into a tall glass or container for easy dipping. Dip each hot dog into the batter, ensuring it is fully coated, and then gently roll it on the side of the container to remove excess batter.

Step 7

Place the coated hot dogs onto the prepared baking sheet, evenly spaced apart.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes, or until the cornmeal coating is golden brown and set.

Step 9

Remove the corn dogs from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving. Enjoy with ketchup, mustard, or your favorite dipping sauce!
