10
ingredients
- 1⁄2 cup yellow cornmeal
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 3⁄4 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 cup evaporated milk
- 1 large egg, beaten
- 1⁄4 teaspoon paprika
- 1⁄2 teaspoon mustard powder
- 1 pinch white pepper
- 10 large hot dogs
- wooden skewer
- oil (for frying, not olive oil)
directions
- Mix the first 10 ingredients in a bowl (if the batter is extremely thick then add in a litle more milk use just enough to hold the batter onto the hotdog do not add in too much milk or the batter will not hold on).
- Transfer the mixture to a shallow dish (I find that an 11 x 7-inch baking pan works well for this).
- Push the wooden skewers into the hot dogs.
- Roll/coat the hot dogs well with the cornmeal mixture.
- Heat oil to 375 degrees F.
- Deep-fry the corn dogs for about 2 minutes until golden brown (do not over fry as the corn dogs will have a burnt taste, 2 minutes should be enough time).
- Drain on paper towels.

I was an assistant manager at a Famous Corn Dogs 35 years ago. They were the best I’d ever made or had. This recipe is very close. Next time I’ll use corn flour in place or the corn meal. We also made Big Cheese on a Stick. I made some mini green chile cheese bites with the batter as well. I used a plastic container for dunking the hot dogs and cheese with the batter. Used my deep fryer. So good. Hubby loved it all. Thank you for sharing.

These are great! I made them yesterday for my corn dog obsessed son, and he loved them. The batter is nice and thick and really stays on nicely in the fryer. These are way better than the boxed kind. The only change I made was to use regular skim milk, that's all I had, and I used organic beef hot dogs. Thanks for sharing.

These were great! I normally make Alton Brown's corndogs. While they're delicious, the batter NEVER sticks to my hot dogs properly, and they're very messy looking. I made kitten's recipe, and they're so perfectly battered, they look like store bought! The flavor is excellent. The only substitution I made was that I used buttermilk instead of evaporated milk. (I had some to use before it went out of date.) Perfect!! I would have taken a picture, but we ate them all before I had a chance. :D

Loved your recipe! I did make a couple of changes. I used buttermilk, since I had some to use up, and used cayenne instead of paprika...otherwise the same and came out good...also have to make sure dogs are very dry and Alton Browns hint of rolling in cornstarch first before dipping in batter might help to make the batter stick. I am Armenian and love the Greek and Middle Eastern stuff too!
