Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup yellow cornmeal
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 8 hot dogs
- 16 toothpicks or small skewers
- 4 cups vegetable oil, for frying
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, yellow cornmeal, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
Step 2
In another bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, egg, and 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil until well combined.
Step 3
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until a thick batter is formed. Avoid overmixing.
Step 4
Cut each hot dog into two equal halves. Insert a toothpick or small skewer into each piece, creating a handle for dipping.
Step 5
Heat 4 cups of vegetable oil in a deep pot or deep fryer to 350°F (175°C).
Step 6
Transfer the batter into a tall glass or a deep container that allows for easy dipping of the hot dogs.
Step 7
Dip each hot dog piece into the batter, ensuring it is fully coated. Gently shake off any excess batter.
Step 8
Carefully place the coated hot dog into the hot oil. Fry 3–4 pieces at a time to avoid overcrowding.
Step 9
Fry the corn dog bites for 2–3 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown and crispy.
Step 10
Remove the bites from the oil using a slotted spoon and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Step 11
Repeat the process with the remaining hot dog pieces until all are cooked.
Step 12
Serve warm with ketchup, mustard, or your favorite dipping sauce.
