Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Lightly spray the parchment with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, yellow cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, egg, and melted butter until smooth.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until a thick batter forms. Avoid overmixing.
Pat the hot dogs dry with paper towels. This helps the batter stick better.
Insert skewers or popsicle sticks into each hot dog, leaving enough stick outside for gripping.
Pour the batter into a tall glass or mug to make dipping easier.
Dip each skewered hot dog into the batter, ensuring it’s evenly coated. Allow any excess batter to drip off.
Place the coated hot dogs onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them apart to allow for even baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the corn dog coating is golden brown and cooked through.
Remove from the oven and let the baked corn dogs cool slightly before serving.
Serve with your favorite dipping sauces like ketchup, mustard, or honey mustard.
