Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 pieces Hot dogs
- 8 pieces Wooden skewers
- 1 cup Yellow cornmeal
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 large Egg
- 1 cup Milk
- 6 cups Vegetable oil
Instructions
Insert one wooden skewer into each hot dog, starting at one end and pushing about three-quarters of the way through. Set aside.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine yellow cornmeal, all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Mix well to combine the dry ingredients.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg and milk until thoroughly combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined to create your batter. The consistency should be thick enough to coat the hot dogs generously.
Pour the vegetable oil into a deep fryer or large heavy pot. Heat the oil to 350°F (175°C).
Transfer the batter into a tall glass or pitcher that will make it easy to dip each skewered hot dog.
Dip each hot dog into the batter, ensuring it is fully coated. Allow excess batter to drip off before carefully placing it into the hot oil.
Fry the corn dogs in batches, avoiding overcrowding the pot. Cook for about 3-5 minutes, turning occasionally, until the batter is golden brown and crisp.
Carefully remove the corn dogs from the oil using tongs and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Serve the corn dogs hot with your favorite condiments like ketchup, mustard, or relish.
