  • Total Time: 25 minutes
  • Yield: 30 mini corn dogs

Ingredients

For Frying

  • Vegetable oil for frying (enough for 2 inches deep in skillet)

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 3/4 cups buttermilk
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tablespoons honey

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 1/4 cups yellow cornmeal
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 3 tablespoons sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Main

  • 10 hot dogs, cut into thirds

Instructions

  1. Heat the Oil: Add 2 inches of vegetable oil to a deep frying skillet and heat it over medium heat until it reaches 265 degrees Fahrenheit, ensuring it is hot enough for frying the corn dogs to a crisp golden finish.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a small bowl, combine the buttermilk, large egg, and honey, stirring well until thoroughly blended to create a smooth wet batter base.
  3. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate large bowl, whisk together the yellow cornmeal, all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt, ensuring all dry ingredients are well incorporated for an even batter texture.
  4. Make the Batter: Stir the wet ingredients mixture into the dry ingredients bowl until just combined to form a slightly thick and textured batter, perfect for adhering to the hot dogs.
  5. Batter the Hot Dogs: Dip 5 to 6 pieces of the cut hot dogs into the batter, coating them evenly. Allow excess batter to drip off before frying to avoid clumps.
  6. Fry the Mini Corn Dogs: Carefully place the battered hot dogs into the hot oil and fry for 3 to 4 minutes, turning halfway through to ensure an even golden color and crispy texture all around.
  7. Drain Excess Oil: Remove the mini corn dogs from the oil and place them on a cooling rack or a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil, maintaining their crispiness and preventing sogginess.
  8. Repeat Frying: Repeat the battering and frying process with the remaining hot dog pieces until all have been cooked.
  9. Serve: Serve the mini corn dogs warm with ketchup and mustard or your favorite dipping sauces for a classic and enjoyable snack.

Notes

  • The nutritional information provided does not include the vegetable oil used for frying; since the amount of oil absorbed may vary, consider this when calculating total calories.
  • Keep the oil temperature steady at 265°F to achieve a perfectly cooked, crispy outer layer without absorbing too much oil.
  • Use a deep thermometer to monitor the oil temperature accurately for best frying results.
  • Serving immediately after frying will ensure the best texture and taste.
