Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup yellow cornmeal
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1.25 cups buttermilk
- 1 unit large egg
- 8 unit hot dogs
- 4 cups vegetable oil (for frying)
- 8 unit wooden skewers or popsicle sticks
Instructions
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep fryer or a heavy-bottomed pot to 350°F (175°C).
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
In a separate bowl, beat the buttermilk and egg together until well combined.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring until a smooth batter forms.
Pat the hot dogs dry with a paper towel to ensure the batter adheres properly.
Insert a wooden skewer or popsicle stick into each hot dog, leaving enough of the stick exposed for easy handling.
Pour the batter into a tall glass for easy dipping. Dip each hot dog into the batter, coating it completely. Allow any excess batter to drip off.
Carefully lower each battered hot dog into the hot oil. Fry 2-3 at a time, ensuring the pot is not overcrowded. Cook for 3-4 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown and crisp.
Using tongs, remove the corn dogs from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Serve the corn dogs hot with your favorite dipping sauces, such as mustard or ketchup.
