Summer is here and when I think of summer, I think of the county fair. Hot dog on a stick is one of my childhood favorite fair foods – easy to eat while walking around =) I decided to add cheese to my corn dogs, but you can definitely omit this step.

Ingredients:

  • 1 package of your choice of hot dogs (8 hot dogs total)
  • 8 slices of Kraft american cheese (Optional)
  • 1 cup of corn meal
  • 1 cup of all purpose flour
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 cup of sugar
  • 1 1/2 cup of milk
  • 3 tbs flour for dusting
  • 8 wooden skewers
  • Oil for frying

Instructions:

  1. Dry hot dogs with paper towel.
  2. (Optional)- Wrap dogs with cheese. If you’re wrapping your dogs with cheese, place hot dogs in the freezer for 20 minutes.
  3. In a bowl, mix flour, corn meal, baking powder, salt and sugar.
  4. In a separate bowl, beat eggs and milk together.
  5. Mix dry ingredients with egg and milk mixture until well combined.
  6. Insert skewer into the end of the hot dog, pushing it almost all the way through, leaving 1/2 inch of tip.
  7. Dust hot dogs with flour and tap off excess flour.
  8. Pour batter into a tall drinking glass.
  9. Dunk hot dog into the glass and slowly pull out. Make sure hot dog is covered with batter.
  10. Fry corn dogs in oil and turn corn dogs in the pot so all sides are cooked to golden brown.
