Ingredients

The following ingredients have 8 Servings
  • 3 quarts vegetable or canola oil, for frying
  • 3/4 cup yellow cornmeal
  • 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 pinch black pepper
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1 dash hot sauce, optional
  • 8 pre-cooked hot dogs or sausages

Instruction

  • Fill a deep pot with oil (enough to fully submerge your corn dogs), and heat it to 360° F.
  • While the oil is heating, combine all of the dry ingredients in a large bowl. Whisk in the egg, buttermilk, and hot sauce, if using.
  • Stick chopsticks or wooden skewers into your wieners. Once the oil is heated, pour the batter into a tall glass or jar and dip the wieners into the batter, covering them fully. Fry them until golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes, and transfer to a paper towel.
  • Let cool slightly and enjoy!
