Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup yellow cornmeal
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon ground paprika
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup milk
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 8 hot dogs
- 8 wooden skewers
- 4 cups vegetable oil (for frying)
Directions
Step 1
In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, yellow cornmeal, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt, and ground paprika.
Step 2
In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg, milk, and honey until well combined.
Step 3
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until you have a thick, smooth batter. Avoid overmixing.
Step 4
Pat the hot dogs completely dry with paper towels to ensure the batter adheres properly. Insert wooden skewers into the center of each hot dog, leaving enough skewer exposed to hold.
Step 5
Pour the batter into a tall glass or jar, making it easier to dip the hot dogs evenly.
Step 6
In a deep pot or Dutch oven, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C) over medium heat. Use a thermometer to monitor the temperature; maintaining this heat is essential for even cooking.
Step 7
Dip each hot dog into the batter, ensuring it is fully coated. Lift it out and let any excess batter drip off.
Step 8
Carefully lower the battered hot dogs into the hot oil, a few at a time, to avoid overcrowding. Fry for 3-5 minutes, turning occasionally, until the batter is golden brown and crispy.
Step 9
Use a slotted spoon to remove the corn dogs and transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Step 10
Serve immediately with mustard, ketchup, or your favorite dipping sauces. Enjoy your homemade corn dogs!
