Classic fair-style corn dogs made from scratch with a crispy golden cornmeal batter wrapped around juicy hot dogs, perfect for a fun snack or casual meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 hot dogs
  • 8 wooden skewers
  • 1 cup yellow cornmeal
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tbsp vegetable oil (plus more for frying)
  • 1 tbsp honey (optional, for sweetness)
  • Flour for dusting hot dogs

Instructions

  1. Heat oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Pat hot dogs dry with paper towels and insert skewers into each hot dog. Lightly dust them with flour to help the batter stick.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and pepper.
  4. In another bowl, whisk together milk, egg, vegetable oil, and honey (if using). Add wet ingredients to dry and stir until smooth.
  5. Pour batter into a tall glass for easy dipping. Dip each floured hot dog into the batter, coating completely.
  6. Carefully lower into hot oil and fry 3–4 minutes or until golden brown, turning occasionally.
  7. Remove with tongs and drain on paper towels. Serve warm with ketchup and mustard.

Notes

  • Dry hot dogs well to help the batter stick better.
  • Use a tall glass for dipping to evenly coat each hot dog.
  • Keep oil at consistent temperature for even frying.
