Amazing Corn Dogs

In this instructable, I will show you how to make corn dogs. This easy homemade corn dog recipe is amazing, they taste much better then those boxes of frozen corn dogs you find at the supermarket, and their taste rivals the corn dogs you would find at the Fair or at Theme Parks. They are super yummy and really easy to make if I can make them you can make them, let's get Frying!

First lets get a large stew pot on the burner and add enough oil to fill it about half way. Then turn the heat onto medium to medium high and let the oil start to heat up, we need it to be 350 degrees F. (176C). Now let's whisk together our dry ingredients (flour, baking powder, salt, sugar, and cornmeal).

Now let's finish off our batter by adding our milk and our eggs, then stirring with a spoon until the batter is nice and smooth. It will be fairly thick, which is what we want.

Now let's pour our batter into a tall glass, leave about an inch of room at the top of the glass, otherwise it will over flow when we add in out hotdog. Now take a skewer and stick it through your hotdog, until the tip goes to the end. Then dip it into the glass with the batter, you may need to circle it around a bit to get the top coated, then pull it out, it is ready to be fried up.

***Depending on the size of your pot, you may not want to use bun length hot dogs. I always use the normal length ones when I do corn dogs.

Now we check out oil with a candy thermometer, make sure we have 350 F (176C). Drop in the dog, and let it fry for 3 to 5 minutes until golden brown, you can fry up to 4 at a time depending on the pot you are using. You may also want to turn them with some tongs half way through to insure it cooks evenly all around. Once done, place it on a paper towel lined plate, and finish the rest of them. Server them up with some ketchup and mustard! Enjoy!
