There are many different recipes for corn dog batter, so feel free to use one that appeals to you the most.
For a basic corn dog batter:
Mix cornmeal, flour, baking powder, sugar and salt. In a separate bowl, mix buttermilk, egg, oil and honey.
Combine the wet and dry ingredients, aiming for a thick and spongy consistency.
Put the batter in a tall cup or a mason jar for easy dog dipping.
You can use your favorite hot dog, hot links or pre-cooked sausages in the corn dog.
Use a sturdy skewer, like a candy apple stick, to skewer the hot dog. Dunk into the batter and give it a little stir, making sure it’s evenly covered and there aren’t any air bubbles.
In a tall pot, heat a neutral oil to 350ºF and try to maintain this temperature when frying the corn dogs. Put the corn dog in the oil and keep it moving until it’s an even dark brown color. It should take about three minutes per corn dog.
If you’re serving a larger crowd, consider cutting the hot dogs into bite-size pieces or using Vienna sausages for easy finger food. Just skewer the meat with a toothpick and remove it before serving.
Once the corn dogs have cooled down, pair them with your favorite dipping sauce and enjoy! You can also freeze them to enjoy another time.
