Corn Dogs
Description
Corn Dogs are made by dipping hot dogs skewered on sticks into a seasoned batter composed of all-purpose flour, cornmeal, baking powder, baking soda, salt, pepper, sugar, egg, honey, and buttermilk. This batter blends leavening agents and sweeteners to produce a slightly sweet, crispy coating when fried. After dipping, the hot dogs are fried in hot oil until the batter is puffed and golden brown, resulting in a contrast between a crunchy exterior and the hot, juicy hot dog inside.
They are typically served warm as snacks at fairs or casual gatherings and can be eaten plain or with dipping sauces like mustard or ketchup. The batter’s thickness allows for a satisfying bite and holds well on the stick.
Ingredients
For the batter
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup cornmeal
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 egg
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 cup buttermilk
For the corn dogs
- 10 hotdog
- 10 Popsicle Sticks or craft sticks

Instructions
For the batter
- Place the flour, cornmeal, baking powder, baking soda, salt, pepper and sugar in a bowl. Stir to combine.
- Add the egg, honey and buttermilk to the bowl. Stir until just combined. Chill the batter for at least 10 minutes.
For the corn dogs
- Heat 4 inches of oil in a deep pot to 350 degrees F.
- Insert the sticks about halfway into the hot dogs. Pat the hot dogs dry with a paper towel.
- Pour the cornbread batter into a tall glass. Dip a hot dog all the way into the batter until it's coated, then transfer the hot dog to the pot of oil.
