Have you ever watched the vendors at the state fair dip hot dogs into a batter and deep fry? Try this with a good quality dog and you'll have something even better.

Ingredients
  • 1 cup yellow cornmeal (not stoneground)
  • 1 cup flour
  • 3/4 tsp salt
  • 4 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 1/2 - 1 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup oil
  • Oil for deep frying
  • 10 ice cream sticks
  • 10 hot dogs

Directions
  1. Push ice cream stick in each hot dog, set aside
  2. mix all ingredients (yes 1/4 cup oil goes in batter)
  3. mix well until no lumps.
  4. Start with 1/2 cup milk and add as necessary until batter is similar to pancake.
  5. Drop in 360 - 370 degree oil and fry until golden.
  6. Remove with tongs and drain on paper bag or paper towls.
  7. Enjoy!
  8. Note: You can purchase the sticks in the craft section of Wal-Mart and craft stores. I used a bread loaf pan for the oil, so it wouldn't take as much. Don't overfill, fill only halfway. Fry two at a time. They cook quick.

OMG... I love these things... they are one of the reasons I go to the stock shows and fairs.. that and funnel cakes... THANK YOU!
Question, what is the diffrence between the corn meals? I have seen several times that statement.


Stone ground is much courser. It is ground by water mills, etc. and the corn goes on a flat stone and another stone wheel sits like a tire on top and rolls around and crushes the corn until it is meal. It's usually more expensive, because it takes longer to make. The stuff you buy at the grocery (Quaker, etc) is processed in machines and is much finer. If you keep grinding it, it becomes corn flour. Jif brand cornbread mix is almost a flour, but still has enough meal to call it meal. Good question. Thanks for asking.


I'll try this one with polish sausage...what a treat for the family! thx :)


Now you've found my weakness - I have to agree with linebb...corn dogs are the reason for going to fairs - but no one makes them with a homemade dipping batter anymore. This will be a "must try". The picture alone sold me...


I had to make these... They were very very good. The only thing I will change is, the hot dogs I had were 4-1. That means quarter pounders... WAY TO BIG. Hubby did not think so, neither did Grandson... but I did. Next dogs I get will be the 5-1. Great post...


I love the state fair corn dogs, funny thing is I am going to the fair tomorrow, and that would have been the first thing I would have gotten. =) Now I can make them at home!!


Excellent! My kids will love this!


I can't wait to try these on the grandkids!!! Thanks for posting.


My boyfriend is from Australia, and has never tried corn dogs. Can you imagine?! Hopefully my attempt at this recipe will do them justice. Thanks!


I'm going to try this with some Johnsonville brats! sounds yummy!


When you use the bread pan, do you just put it directly on the stove top and use a thermometer to keep track of the temperature? I can't wait to try these!!


Wonderful, excellent! Thank you!!! I had these last night and they were great!! I loved them and so did my dad! He loves corndogs!!! Got my 5!


I made these tonight. The taste was good, but I had a hard time keeping the batter on the dogs. A couple actually kind of "blew out". When they were done, the fried batter layer was very thin. I have a 4 quart deep fryer and I set the temp per your recipe. This is a new deep fryer. Do you have any suggestions as to how I can make these better?
