Homemade Corn Dogs

Homemade Corn Dogs are a delicious fairground classic made with hot dogs dipped in a slightly sweet cornbread batter, then deep-fried to golden perfection. Here’s a simple recipe to make them at home:

Ingredients:

  • 6 hot dogs (or sausages of your choice)
  • 6 wooden skewers or sticks
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup cornmeal
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil (plus more for frying)
  • Optional: Ketchup, mustard, or dipping sauces for serving

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Hot Dogs:
    • Pat the hot dogs dry with a paper towel and insert a wooden skewer into each, leaving enough of the stick exposed to hold them.
  2. Make the Batter:
    • In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
    • Add the milk, egg, and vegetable oil. Stir until you have a smooth batter.
  3. Heat the Oil:
    • In a large pot or deep fryer, heat oil to 350–375°F (175–190°C). Use enough oil to fully submerge the corn dogs.
  4. Dip the Hot Dogs:
    • Pour the batter into a tall glass or container for easy dipping.
    • Dip each skewered hot dog into the batter, ensuring it’s fully coated. Let any excess batter drip off.
  5. Fry the Corn Dogs:
    • Carefully lower the coated hot dog into the hot oil. Fry in batches for 3–4 minutes or until golden brown, turning occasionally for even cooking.
    • Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
  6. Serve:
    • Serve immediately with your favorite sauces like ketchup, mustard, or honey mustard.
