Ingredients
Step by Step Directions
- Dry the hot dogs with paper towels. Insert skewers about halfway into hot dogs, leaving enough length as a handle. Set aside.6 each hot dogs, 6 each wooden skewers
- In a large bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda, and sugar.¾ cup yellow cornmeal, ¾ cup all-purpose flour, ¼ teaspoon salt, ¼ teaspoon baking powder, ⅛ teaspoon baking soda, 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- In another bowl, combine milk, and egg until smooth. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. The batter should be thick enough to coat the hot dogs well. If it's too thick, you can add a little more buttermilk.1 large egg, ¾ cup buttermilk
- Heat about 3 inches of vegetable oil in a deep saucepan or pot to 350°F . Use a thermometer to check the temperature, as accurate heat is crucial for cooking them perfectly.Vegetable oil
- Pour the batter into a tall glass for easier dipping. Dip each skewered hot dog into the batter, ensuring it's completely coated. Let the excess batter drip off for a moment, then carefully lower it into the hot oil.
- Fry the corn dogs in batches, if necessary, to avoid overcrowding, for about 2-3 minutes or until they're golden brown and crispy.
- Once cooked, remove the corn dogs from the oil using a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauces.

Notes
-
- Pat hot dogs dry with a paper towel before dipping to help the batter stick better.
- Make sure the oil is hot enough and maintain consistent oil temperature around 350°F to ensure even cooking and crispiness.
- Use Tall Glass for Batter: Pour the batter into a tall, narrow glass to make it easier to dip and coat hot dogs evenly.
- Serve Immediately: Corn dogs taste best hot and crispy right after frying, but you can also reheat leftovers briefly in the oven or air fryer.
