Honey-battered, hand-dipped Corn Dogs are a real treat. Watch the video tutorial and see how easy it is to make homemade corn dogs from scratch.
We love hand-dipped corn dogs at fairs, carnivals, and of course Disney, but some of our favorite carnival foods like Churros, sweet Corn on the Cob and of course these corn dogs, are so easy to re-create at home. If you’re looking for fun, family-friendly recipes, these Corn Dogs are a must-try!
INGREDIENTS:
1 cup yellow cornmeal
1 cup all-purpose flour / plain flour
1/4 cup sugar
1 Tablespoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 egg, beaten
1 1/2 cups buttermilk (regular milk works too)
1 Tablespoon vegetable oil
1 Tablespoon honey
1 (10 count) package Hot Dogs
10 wooden skewers or chopsticks
2 Quarts Vegetable Oil, for frying
DIRECTIONS:
*In a medium or large pot, add the oil.
*Turn heat to medium and heat oil to 350 degrees F.
*In a large bowl, add the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. *Stir together.
*Then add the beaten egg, buttermilk, oil and honey.
*Stir until combined. (Batter should be a little thicker than pancake batter)
*Remove hot dogs from package.
*Wipe them all dry with a paper towel (this will help the batter stick to them better)
*Insert one skewer or wooden stick into each hot dog.
*Pour the batter into a tall drinking glass.
*Holding by the skewer, take one hot dog and dunk it into the batter, coating all of the hot dog.
*Slowly remove from batter and let a little excess batter drip back into the cup.
*Immediately place it into the hot oil, while still holding the stick.
*Turn as necessary to brown all sides.
*Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until all sides are a deep golden brown.
*Remove from hot oil and place on paper towels to drain grease.
*Repeat with all hot dogs.
