Description

Crispy, golden, and perfectly sweet—this homemade corn dog recipe brings the magic of Disneyland right to your kitchen!


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 cup yellow cornmeal
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup buttermilk (or whole milk)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 8 beef hot dogs
  • 8 wooden skewers

 

  • 2 quarts vegetable oil (for frying)

Instructions

  • Heat the vegetable oil in a deep fryer or a large heavy-bottomed pot to 350°F (175°C).
  • In a large bowl, whisk together cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  • In a separate bowl, mix buttermilk, eggs, honey, and 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil until smooth.
  • Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until fully combined. Let the batter rest for 10 minutes.
  • Pat the hot dogs dry with a paper towel, then insert wooden skewers into each one.
  • Pour the batter into a tall glass or jar (this makes dipping easier). Dip each hot dog into the batter, turning to coat evenly. Let any excess drip off.
  • Carefully place the battered hot dogs into the hot oil, frying 2-3 at a time to avoid overcrowding. Cook for 3-5 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown.
  • Remove from oil and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain.

 

  • Serve immediately with ketchup, mustard, or your favorite dipping sauce!

Notes

  • For a thicker batter: Add a little more cornmeal if needed.
  • For extra crispiness: Double-dip the hot dogs in batter before frying.

 

  • Storage: Leftover corn dogs can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days and reheated in an oven at 375°F for 10 minutes.
