Our chefs came up with this batter that elevates the standard corn dog. It’s a lighter flakier batter, and cooks up a perfect golden brown when you follow the directions below. Try it at home!
Ingredients:
4 cups all-purpose flour
2 cups corn meal
¾ cup sugar
1 Tbsp salt
2 tsp baking powder
1 whole egg
2 ½ cups water
10 hot dogs
Directions:
- Combine all the dry ingredients and mix with a whisk.
- Add egg and water slowly to mixing bowl. Mix until smooth and medium consistency, about 2-3 minutes.
- Preheat a deep fryer to 365˚F.
- Dab hot dogs with paper towels to dry. This will allow the coating to adhere properly. Insert a popsicle stick through the center of the hot dog, leaving a handle on the end.
- Dip and coat the entire hot dog up to the exposed stick.
- Hold in the fryer, stick side out, for 3 minutes or until golden brown.
- Serve with honey mustard or coarse ground mustard.
