Homemade Corn Dogs
If you like corn dogs you are going to love this recipe. Not only are these corn dogs delicious they aren’t as intimidating to make as you might think.
The batter is easy to make and comes together quickly. I think the batter is what makes the corn dogs so special and the batter is what makes the corn dogs taste exactly like the corn dogs your get at the fair. Homemade Corn Dogs are best served with ketchup and mustard.
Carnival Classic
Corn Dogs are a carnival and fair classic. Who hasn’t had a corn dog at the carnival, state fair or at the ball park. Funnel Cakes might be considered the
“Queen of the Fair” but Corn Dogs are considered the “King of the Fair.” Adults and kids of all ages love corn dogs. Just as baseball games and hot dogs go together, corn dogs and state or county fairs go together.

Ingredients
- 1 (10 count) package
hot dogs of your choice - 1 1/2 cups
yellow cornmeal - 1 1/4 cups
flour - 1/4 cup
sugar - 1 tablespoon
baking powder - 1/4 teaspoon
salt - 1
egg, beaten - 1 1/2 cups
buttermilk - 1 tablespoon
oil - 1 tablespoon
honey - 10 wooden sticks
or skewers - 2 quarts
vegetable for frying
Cooking Directions
- In a large bowl whisk together the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add the beaten egg, buttermilk, oil and honey. Stir until combined. Batter will be thick.
- Remove hot dogs from package. Wipe all of the hot dogs with paper towels. (This will allow the batter to adhere to the hot dogs) Insert one wooden stick into each hot dog.
- Pour the batter into a tall drinking glass. Holding by the wooden stick, 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 glass. Immediately place into hot oil. Turn as necessary to brown all sides. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes or until all sides are deep golden brown. Remove from oil and drain on paper towels.
