Homemade Corn Dogs


   There is a litte town about 20 minutes from where I live called Veyo. They have a popular pool there that is nestled and surrounded by trees and rocks. I have so many fun memories playing and swimming there as a kid. We would catch crawdads that crawl around outside the pool, play at the arcade and have a blast swimming. They also serve amazing food! They are known for their to-die-for corn dogs!

   I crave their corn dogs every now and then, so I decided it was time to try making some at home. They turned out unbelievably delicious! I don't own a deep fryer, so I just used a medium pot to deep-fry the corn dogs in. Although it seems a little intimidating, they were really easy to make.

My kids loved them and my Hubby inhaled three! I ate one, but dreamed about eating five... 

  I will be making these again soon, without a doubt.





Homemade Corn Dogs
Makes 10 Corn Dogs

1 cup yellow cornmeal
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup sugar
1 Tablespoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 egg, beaten
1 1/2 cups buttermilk (regular milk works too)
1 Tablespoon vegetable oil
1 Tablespoon honey
1 (10 count) package Hot Dogs
10 wooden skewers or chopsticks

2 Quarts Vegetable Oil, for frying


Directions: In a medium or large pot, add the oil. Turn heat to medium and heat oil to 350 degrees F.

In a large bowl, add the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Stir together. Then add the beaten egg, buttermilk, oil and honey. Stir until combined. (Batter should be a little thicker than pancake batter)

Remove hot dogs from package. Wipe them all dry with a paper towel (this will help the batter stick to them better) Insert one skewer or wooden stick into each hot dog.

Pour the batter into a tall drinking glass. Holding by the skewer, 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 cup. Immediately place it into the hot oil, while still holding the stick. Turn as necessary to brown all sides. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until all sides are a deep golden brown. Remove from hot oil and place on paper towels to drain grease. Repeat with all hot dogs.

Yum! I love corn dogs at the fair and these are just like them! I better give these a try. Way to have self control and only eat one. Not sure I could do that :)

Wouldn't these be great for a picnic? My grandson would love them! :)

Yum! They turned out so pretty. When I've tried them in the past, it's hard to keep them from looking lumpy.
Jenn said...
Wow, those browned up perfectly.

Those look amazing! I love corn dogs, but have never had a homemade one. I cannot even imagine how much better homemade corn dogs are than from a store or Sonic. They look so easy, too! Great post!
Ashlie said...
Cool recipe, these look professional!

Hey Mrs Lofthouse, are you okay with people Pinning a link to your recipes as long as they give credit to where it came from? Or no? I like to save recipes I like in one place but since Pins are public I figure it's good etiquette to ask first. Thanks!

Whoa. My husband would love me forever if I made these for him. Well, I think he will anyway, but still... I might have to make these for our anniversary!

Wow these look so good! I love corn dogs and have never thought to make them at home!

My daughter wanted corn dogs immediately after seeing this posted on Pinterest. We gathered all the ingredients and began making them. I had to add extra flour and meal, by the tablespoon, until I got it to the consistency is should be. After trail and error of 4-5 hotdogs loosing their coats, it finally worked. I am not sure what we did wrong.

Ashlynn, sorry you had trouble with yours. I've made these twice since posting them (cause we love em' so much! Lol) and they always turn out awesome! Just make sure you're drying the hot dogs really well before you try coating them with the batter. That's what helps make the batter stick.

Do you think it will work with a non-dairy milk such as soy or non dairy creamer?
Jess said...
These look awesome! Haven't had a corn dog in years! I know the recipe makes enough batter to coat 10 hot dogs so I wanted to find out if it can be stored in the fridge and used later? As a singleton with no kids, there's no way I will eat 10 corn dogs on my own:-) Thanks!

I can't wait to try these...tomorrow!! LOL! Yum!

As soon as I put them in the hot oil, the corn batter came off, they looked nothing like the picture you posted, and I followed the recipe to a T. What happened?
Holly L said...
Just Me- I honestly am not sure. Was your oil not hot enough? If its at the right temp it should fry immediately. Like I said above I've made these a few times now and have never had that problem.

I am going to try it tonight with almond milk. I'll let you know!!

Might help with the batter sticking to coat weiners in light dusting of corn starch.

Hi there, im new to cooking so this is probably a silly question but can I use normal cornflour/meal instead of yellow? Thanks :)
Freddie Zepeda said...
Going to try this for the grandkids....they will love it
Melody said...
Hi! I just stumbled upon your recipe and those corn dogs look really delicious. There's just something I would like to ask.
I have a gluten intolerance, so would it be possible to leave the all purpose flour out of the mix? Do you know if the result will be the same?
Holly L said...
Melody, I have only used the flour in this recipe. Not sure if it would work without it. Sorry!
