Homemade Corn Dogs
An Easy Fun Treat to Make.
Equipment
- Large Pot or Dutch Oven
- skewers, chopsticks or pop cycle sticks
- large sheet pan & wire rack
Ingredients
Corn Dog Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups yellow corn meal
- 1 cup all purpose flour
- 1/4 cup white granulated sugar
- 2 TBS baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
Corn Dog Wet Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups milk
- 2 eggs beaten
- 2 TBS honey
Other
- 8-10 hotdogs (any brand)
- 1/2 cup cornstarch
- 8-10 skewers, chopsticks or pop cycle sticks
- 2 quarts vegetable oil or Crisco shortening
- ketchup, mustard or other favorite topping
Instructions
- Dry off hotdogs with a paper towel. (This will help adhere ingredients.)Lightly roll hotdogs in cornstarch. (This will help the batter adhere to the hotdog.) Push a skewer through hotdog lengthwise. Using kitchen shears cut off 1-2 inches of skewer in order for the hotdog with skewer to fit in a large pot.
- In a large mixing bowl whisk together yellow corn meal, flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Stir in milk, eggs, and honey. You can adjust batter if needed. (If too thick add additional milk, if too runny add more corn meal.) Batter should adhere to hotdog without dripping off. Let the batter sit until oil is heated.
- In a large pot or Dutch oven heat oil or shortening until it reaches 350 degrees (medium high heat). Check temperature of oil throughout corn dog process by using a kitchen food thermometer.
- Pour batter into a large tall cup or glass about 3/4 of the way full. (The cup should be tall enough to submerge the hotdog fully.)
- Hold hot dog by the tip of skewer. Dunk into cup of batter to fully submerge the hotdog. Slowly pull out the hotdog from the batter and submerge again if needed to fully coat. Let excess batter run off back into cup.
- Immediately place batter dipped hotdog into oil carefully by holding the skewer and placing into hot oil slowly. Let hotdog cook for about 30 seconds before rotating. (This will prevent the batter from sticking to bottom of pot and pulling off of the hotdog.) Rotate every 30 seconds until corn dog is golden brown, should take 2-3 minutes or so.
- Remove corn dogs and place on a wire rack placed on a foil covered sheet pan. (This will allow the oil to drain from corn dog.)
- Serve with favorite toppings.
Great Instructions!!!!
