Ingredients
¾ cup Yellow Cornmeal
1 large egg, lightly beaten
¾ cup All-Purpose Flour
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
¼ teaspoon salt
1 ½ teaspoons Baking Powder
2 tablespoons Vegetable Oil
¾ cup Buttermilk
2 tablespoons Honey
2 quarts Oil, for cooking
12 Hot Dogs
12 wooden skewers
Instructions
Start by heating the oil in a pot until it reaches a temperature of 350°F (175°C). This will ensure that your corn dogs cook evenly and get that crispy texture.
In a bowl mix together the yellow cornmeal, all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, salt and baking powder. Use a whisk to blend them until they’re well incorporated.
In another bowl whisk together the vegetable oil, buttermilk, beaten egg and honey. This combination adds both moisture and flavor to the batter.
Fold the wet mixture into the dry mixture stirring until you have a smooth batter. It’s important not to overmix – having a few lumps is perfectly fine. Allow the batter to rest for 10 minutes so that all the flavors can come together.
Insert skewers into each hot dog. This will provide a handle for dipping and frying.
Carefully dip each skewered dog into the batter making sure it gets an even coating. Place the coated dog, into the oil and let it cook for around 2 to 3 minutes. The corn dog should be cooked until it turns a brown color and becomes crispy.
Using tongs carefully remove the corn dog from the oil allowing any extra oil to drip off. Place it on a tray or plate lined with paper towels to absorb any remaining oil.
You can serve your fried Original Corn Dogs with your dipping sauce whether it’s the classic combination of ketchup and mustard or something more adventurous. Take pleasure in the blend of flavors and textures. Savor the comforting warmth of this timeless treat.
