Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup yellow cornmeal
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 8 hot dogs
- 8 wooden skewers
- 1 as needed non-stick cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Lightly spray the parchment paper with non-stick cooking spray.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
In a separate bowl, combine the milk, egg, and melted butter. Whisk until smooth.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix.
Insert a wooden skewer into each hot dog, leaving enough skewer exposed to act as a handle.
Pour the batter into a tall glass or jar. Dip each skewered hot dog into the batter, ensuring it is evenly coated. Let any excess batter drip off.
Place each coated hot dog onto the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they do not touch.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the batter is golden and set.
Remove the corn dogs from the oven and let them cool for a minute or two before serving. Enjoy with your favorite dipping sauces!
