I made up this recipe many years ago, because I loved the corn dogs you buy at carnivals but could not find a recipe for them. Great served with mustard.

CORN DOGS



Corn Dogs image

When executive editor John Willoughby caught sight of these freshly fried corn dogs, he exclaimed, "Just like the Iowa State Fair!" When he bit into one, he acknowledged that it was even better. Grilling the hot dogs first lends them a deeper, smokier flavor, and the buttermilk-cornmeal coating fries up to a thick, fluffy shell-delicious with mustard or ketchup and a frosty root beer on the side.

Yield Makes 8 corn dogs

Number Of Ingredients 15

8 hot dogs
1/2 cup plus 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour, divided
About 8 cups vegetable oil, divided
1 1/2 cups cornmeal
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/8 teaspoon cayenne
2 large eggs
1 1/4 cups well-shaken buttermilk
Equipment: a grill pan; 8 wooden ice-pop sticks; a deep-fat thermometer
8 wooden ice-pop sticks
a deep-fat thermometer
Accompaniments: ketchup and mustard
mustard

Steps:

  • Oil grill pan, then grill hot dogs over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until lightly charred on all sides, about 5 minutes total. Transfer to a plate and cool slightly, then insert a wooden stick into each hot dog. Put 3 tablespoons flour on another plate and roll hot dogs in flour to coat, shaking off excess.
  • Heat 3 inches oil to 350°F in a deep 3-quart heavy pot over medium-high heat.
  • Meanwhile, whisk together cornmeal, remaining 1/2 cup flour, 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, baking powder, sugar, baking soda, cayenne, and 3/4 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl. Add eggs 1 at a time, whisking well after each addition. Whisk in buttermilk.
  • Transfer some of batter to a tall glass, filling it almost to the top.
  • Working in batches of 2 or 3, dip hot dogs, 1 at a time, into glass of batter to coat (add more batter to glass if necessary), then fry, turning occasionally, until batter is cooked through and golden-brown all over, about 3 minutes. Transfer corn dogs to paper towels to drain. Return oil to 350°F and refill glass with batter between batches.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality hot dogs: The quality of the hot dogs will greatly impact the overall taste of the corn dogs. Look for hot dogs that are made with high-quality meat and have a good flavor.
  • Make sure the hot dogs are cold before dipping them in the batter: This will help the batter to adhere to the hot dogs and prevent them from falling off during frying.
  • Don't overcrowd the pot when frying the corn dogs: This will cause the oil temperature to drop and the corn dogs will not cook evenly.
  • Fry the corn dogs until they are golden brown and crispy: This will ensure that they are cooked through and have a delicious flavor.
  • Serve the corn dogs immediately with your favorite dipping sauce:

Conclusion:

Corn dogs are a delicious and fun treat that are perfect for parties, picnics, or a quick snack. With just a few simple ingredients, you can easily make your own corn dogs at home. So next time you're craving a corn dog, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
