Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup cornmeal
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon ground paprika
- 2 pieces large eggs
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 8 pieces hot dogs
- 0.5 cup all-purpose flour (for coating)
- 4 cups vegetable oil (for frying)
- 8 pieces wooden skewers
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornmeal, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt, and paprika until well combined.
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, then whisk in the milk and honey until smooth. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until a thick batter forms. Set the batter aside to rest for 5 minutes.
Insert a wooden skewer into each hot dog, leaving about 2 inches of the skewer exposed at the bottom for handling. Pat the hot dogs dry with a paper towel, then lightly coat them in all-purpose flour. Shake off any excess flour.
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep pot or deep fryer over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer for accuracy.
Transfer the batter to a tall glass for easy dipping. Dip each floured hot dog into the batter, rotating to coat it evenly and completely. Let any excess batter drip off.
Carefully lower the battered hot dogs into the hot oil, one at a time. Fry 2-3 corn dogs at a time, turning occasionally with tongs, until golden brown on all sides (about 3-4 minutes per batch).
Remove the corn dogs from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Repeat the dipping and frying process for the remaining hot dogs.
Serve the corn dogs warm with your favorite condiments, such as ketchup, mustard, or honey mustard, and enjoy!
