Enjoy the delightful taste of homemade corn dogs, perfect for any occasion.
In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, salt, cornmeal, sugar, and baking powder.
Sift the dry ingredients together to ensure a smooth batter.
Add the egg and milk to the dry ingredients and whisk until the batter is smooth and lump-free.
If the batter is too thick, add a splash of milk to adjust the consistency.
Insert a skewer into each hot dog, ensuring it is secure.
Soak wooden skewers in water for 10 minutes to prevent burning.
Heat the oil in a deep fryer to 350°F (175°C).
Use a thermometer to maintain the oil temperature for even frying.
Dip each skewered hot dog into the batter, coating it evenly.
Twist the skewer slightly while dipping to ensure an even coat.
Carefully place the coated hot dogs into the hot oil and fry until golden brown, about 5 minutes.
Fry in batches to avoid overcrowding the fryer.
Remove the corn dogs from the oil and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil.
Pat the corn dogs gently with paper towels to remove extra oil.
Serve the corn dogs warm with your favorite dipping sauces.
Pair with a variety of sauces like mustard, ketchup, or cheese dip for added flavor.
