Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup yellow cornmeal
  • 3/4 cup all purpose flour
  • 1 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 egg (lightly beaten)
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 3/4 cup buttermilk*
  • 2 tsp vegetable oil
  • 12 hot dogs
  • 12 wooden skewers (candy sticks or thin popsicle sticks)
  • 2 quarts vegetable oil (for frying)

Directions

  1. 1

    In a large pot or Dutch-oven, heat the 2 quarts of oil to 350 degrees.

  2. 2

    In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, flour, sugar, salt and baking powder. Add the egg, honey, buttermilk and vegetable oil, stir until combined. Let sit for 10 minutes.

  3. 3

    Meanwhile, pat the hot dogs dry and insert a skewer into each hot dog. Pour the batter into a tall drinking glass and dip one dog at a time into the batter, then place into the hot oil to fry (I like to make sure that the batter is coating a bit of the skewer/stick so that the coating stays on).

  4. 4

    I let my corn dog sink to the bottom and then turned it with tongs to ensure that wit was browning evenly on all sides. Cook for about 2-3 minutes (you want to make sure they're fully cooked inside), then transfer to a paper towel lined plate. Repeat with remaining hot dogs (you may have to tilt the glass a bit to get the last few ones fully dipped).
