Prep/Total Time: 25 min.

Yield: 10 Servings

15 10 25

Ingredients

3/4 cup yellow cornmeal
3/4 cup self-rising flour
1 egg, lightly beaten
2/3 cup milk
10 Popsicle sticks
10 hot dogs
Oil for deep-fat frying

Directions

In a large bowl, combine cornmeal, flour and egg. Stir in milk to make a thick batter; let stand 4 minutes. Insert sticks into hot dogs; dip in batter.
In an electric skillet or deep-fat fryer, heat oil to (375°). Fry corn dogs, a few at a time, about 8-6 minutes or until golden brown, turning occasionally. Drain on paper towels. Yield: 10 servings.

Editor's Note: As a substitute for self-rising flour, place 1 teaspoon baking powder and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a measuring cup. Add all-purpose flour to measure 3/4 cup.

Was making for only one little girl. So I halved the recepie except for the egg and added baking powder to the flour as I only had plain. I had to cut the hotdogs in half also as I used a sauce pan for the oil. I had not read the other reviews but mine worked just fine and they came out great. The four year old was happy!

The recipe tasted like corn dogs, but I was just left with a giant mess on my hands. The batter dripped and stuck to my frier, making these guys impossible to get out. I ended up with corn dogs with half of their breading still on them and the other half stuck to the frier. This recipe wasn't worth the trouble to me, I probably won't make them again.

Made these last night using some of the tips from other reviewers. They came out great! I did coat the hot dogs in corn starch first, and I added a couple tablespoons of sugar to the batter. I did use fat-free milk because that was all I had, but it still came out fine. I might have used just a little too much and made the batter a little thin, but they still came out fine.

What ya'll need to do is first off, soak the sticks for 10 minutes before putting the hot dogs on em, then your gonna roll your hot dogs in cornstarch, about 1/4 cup, mean while heat up for deep fryer, take1 1/2 cups of self rising cornmeal,1/2 cup flour, 3TBS sugar, 1 1/4 buttermilk, or 1% milk, add all together, roll your dogs in this then deep fry till golden brown, 2-3 minutes.

For anyone who is having trouble making the batter stick, here is a trick: pour the batter into a very tall glass, completely dry the franks and roll them in cornstarch. Then just put in the sticks and dip into the glass to coat, using a rolling motion as you dip them. Have the oil heated to temp and just fry away. My mom made these often in just this way. Hope this tip helps.

These where really good- although they were not a piece of cake to make!

I had trouble with getting the batter to stick. I dusted the hot dogs with flour but that didn't help. I won't try these again. Not worth the effort and mess.

I really didn't enjoy these. They were a pain to make the batter stick to the dogs and not my fingers. I did dust them with flour before battering and they still just weren't great. The batter had no flaver at all. I feel like the batter should have had a little salt and sugar in it. It had no flavor at all. My husband thought they were ok and gave it a C-. We both thought they were extremely dry.

I think this is a great corn dog recipe. I usually use a spoon to help with the batter, but have never really had any problems with these.

I've been told to dip the dogs in flour first, then into the batter, the flour helps the batter to stick......I actually have a different recipe for corn dogs, it's really thick too, but the batter sticks really well! If the hot dogs are too moist, pat them dry with a paper towel, then dip into the batter. I also use a spoon or my fingers to spread the batter over the dog.
