Ingredients

  • 1 gallon peanut or vegetable oil
  • 1 cup yellow cornmeal
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 (8.5-ounce) can cream-style corn
  • ½ cup buttermilk
  • 8 beef hot dogs
  • 4 tablespoons cornstarch, for dredging
  • 8 sets chopsticks, not separated

Instructions

  1. Pour oil into a large, heavy pot or countertop fryer and heat to 375 degrees.
  2. Mix dry ingredients together. Mix corn and buttermilk together. Add dry to wet all at once just until batter comes together; there will be lumps. Set aside for 10 minutes.
  3. Using a chopstick as a skewer, stick it into bottom of hot dog. Spread cornstarch in a shallow pan and roll the hot dog in it (to help the batter stick). Tap well to remove any excess. Put the batter in a tall glass and quickly dip the hot dog in and out of the batter.
  4. Cook the corn dogs two at a time in the hot oil until the coating is golden brown, about 4-5 minutes.

Tips & Notes

Kids will love skewering the hot dogs and dredging them in batter to learn how this fair favorite is made, but leave the deep-frying step for adults.
