Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup cornmeal
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil (plus extra for frying)
- 8 hot dogs
- 8 wooden skewers
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
Step 2
Add the milk, egg, and 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil to the dry ingredients. Mix until a smooth batter forms, ensuring there are no lumps.
Step 3
Pat the hot dogs dry with paper towels and insert a wooden skewer into each hot dog, leaving enough of the skewer exposed as a handle.
Step 4
Pour the batter into a tall glass, which will make dipping the hot dogs easier.
Step 5
Heat about 3 inches of vegetable oil in a large, deep pot or skillet to 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer to maintain the temperature throughout frying.
Step 6
Dip each hot dog into the batter, twisting slightly to ensure it is completely coated. Allow any excess batter to drip off.
Step 7
Carefully place the battered hot dogs into the hot oil, frying 2–3 at a time to avoid overcrowding. Cook for about 2–3 minutes, turning occasionally, until the batter is golden brown and crisp.
Step 8
Remove the corn dogs from the oil with a slotted spoon and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Step 9
Repeat with the remaining hot dogs until all are cooked.
Step 10
Serve the corn dogs warm with your favorite dipping sauces, such as ketchup, mustard, or honey mustard.
