  1. Fill a medium-sized pot with enough oil to cover the bottom 4 inches of the pot in oil.
  2. Heat oil to 350 degrees.

  4. In a small bowl, whisk together milk and egg.

  6. Cut hot dogs into thirds.
  7. Blot hot dogs with paper towels until they are dry.
  8. Dip hot dogs into the cornmeal mixture to coat the hot dogs with batter then shake to remove excess batter.

  10. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes or until golden brown.
  11. Serve with your favorite condiments.

Notes

  • The key to irresistible mini corn dogs lies in the batter. Follow these simple steps for the perfect consistency and flavor:
  • Keep ingredients separate until the last minute: Mix dry ingredients in one bowl and wet ingredients in another.
  • Combine just before dipping: This prevents the batter from becoming too thick or activating the baking powder too early.
  • Look for ribbon consistency: The perfect batter should coat the back of a spoon and fall off in thick ribbons.
  • Temperature matters: Cold hot dogs and room-temperature batter create the best coating.
