Homemade Corn Dogs – easy and party favorite snack made with hotdogs dipped in a batter and fried to perfection.

Corn Dog

Before I was introduced to corn dogs I seriously believed it was made with some sort of dog product. Yes, seriously, no kidding. I was young, naïve and had just moved to Los Angeles. There were some many things I had to come to terms with:  How could anyone eat  raw fish, rare steak, sweetened chicken. What the heck! –  If they can eat that, then they can eat dogs.

Corn Dog

Don’t laugh, well go ahead- it is called culture shock. That was then, it is a totally different story  now. I can’t let a month go by without my sushi fix and I like my steak-cooked medium.

Corn Dogs

I had  my  first corn dog experience at a  county fair,  by then I kinda  knew it had nothing to do with dogs. Yeah, silly me! To be honest, I enjoyed the corn dog coating more than the dogs. I guess hot dogs are just not my thing.

Here is the deal, my son loves hot dogs and dislikes sausage so you guess right. He wins! These are made with hot dogs not sausage. However, you may use sausage. I have  tried to tricking him several times and he really gets upset when that happens. So I tend to stick with the dogs over sausage   – I can only handle two of this.

Corn Dogs

Corn dogs are deceptively easy to make – if you can get past your fear of frying. All you do is mix the wet and dry ingredients. Dust with flour, dip in the batter, fry and voila! Corn dogs.

Here is a tip after making them you can freeze, reheat in the oven and serve with ketchup, mustard and or relish.

    How do you keep the dip around the corn dog round? When I put mine in the hot oil it flattens.
    Can you please let me know what am I doing wrong.
    Sorry I am still a beginner with this.
    Thank you
    Christine

    These look fantastic!! I laughed, hearing your story about thinking corn dogs were made of dog – not because I thought you were silly, but because it’s actually pretty ridiculous and random if you think about it – why SHOULD we call something by the name of an animal it’s not? For the record, I’m from California and I *still* can’t get over the idea of eating raw fish.
