Homemade Corn Dogs Recipe
I love the corn dogs you buy at carnivals but wanted to make them at home so I created this easy batter for frankfurters. Great served with mustard.
Ingredients
- 1 cup yellow cornmeal
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup white sugar
- 4 teaspoons baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ⅛ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup milk
- 1 egg
- 1 quart vegetable oil for frying
- 16 ounce packages beef frankfurters
- 16 wooden skewers
Instructions
- Combine cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and pepper in a medium bowl; stir in milk and egg to make a batter.
- Heat oil in a deep fryer or large saucepan to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Meanwhile, pat frankfurters dry and insert a skewer into each one. Roll frankfurters in batter until well coated.
- Fry 2 or 3 corn dogs at a time in preheated oil until lightly browned, about 3 minutes. Drain on paper towels.
Notes
We have determined the nutritional value of oil for frying based on a retention value of 10% after cooking. The exact amount may vary depending on cook time and temperature, ingredient density, and the specific type of oil used.
