Ingredients

  • 1 ¼ cups flour
  • ¾ cup cornmeal
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1 egg
  • 3 tablespoon honey
  • 10 beef hot dogs
  • 2 tablespoon flour for coating hot dogs
  • Peanut oil for frying

Instructions

  • Mix together the flour, cornmeal, baking powder, and salt. Make a well in the center. Pour in the buttermilk, egg, and honey. Stir until combined. Transfer the batter to a tall glass or mason jar.
  • Dry the hot dogs well, dip them in flour, and insert skewers.
  • Heat oil in a deep fryer (or use a large heavy pot with a thermometer) to 365˚F.
  • Dip a hot dog in the batter so that it is fully coated all of the way to where the skewer is inserted. Use a knife to help even out the batter on the corn dog, if necessary.
  • Carefully add the corn dog to the hot oil and fry for 3-4 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown on all sides.

Notes

  1. If the batter is too thick, stir in a tiny bit more buttermilk. If the batter is too thin, add a tiny bit more flour.
