Ingredients
For the Batter:
- 1 cup fine cornmeal
- 1 cup all purpose flour
- 2 Tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 Tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 large egg
- 1 Tablespoon honey
For the Corn dogs:
- 10 hot dogs regular size
- 10 wooden sticks hot dog sticks, popsicle sticks, etc
- vegetable oil for frying
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder and salt.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, egg and honey. Then gradually mix the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients to make the batter.
- Set the batter aside.
- Heat approximately 2 inches of vegetable oil in a large pot or fryer to 350 degrees F.
- Carefully thread the hot dogs onto the wooden sticks and pat the hot dogs dry with paper towels.
- Pour the corn dog batter into a tall drinking glass to approximately ¾ of the way full. Then carefully dip the hot dog on a stick into the batter gently twisting the hot dog around to completely coat the hot dog in the batter. Carefully shake off any excess batter.
- Gently drop the coated hot dog on a stick into the hot oil. Cook for 3-5 minutes (flipping as needed with tongs) until the corn dog is golden brown. Then remove from the oil with tongs and place on a plate lined with paper towels to cool. Continue this process until all the corndogs are prepared. You can likely cook 2-3 corn dogs in the oil at a time depending on the size of your pot or fryer.
- Serve the corn dogs warm with your favorite condiments and enjoy!

Notes
- You want the batter to be thick but smooth enough to evenly coat the hot dog. If your batter is too thick, slowly add in more buttermilk (1 tablespoon at a time) until the batter thins out.
- Refrigerate any leftover corn dogs in an airtight container for up to 2-3 days.
