Ingredients
- ACTIVE: 30 min I TOTAL: 30 min I MAKES: 8 corn dogs
- 1 1/2 cups fine yellow cornmeal
- 1 cup all-purpose flour, plus more for dredging
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon mustard powder
- Kosher salt
- 1 cup milk
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons peanut oil, plus more for frying
- 8 hot dogs
Preparation
Step 1
1. Whisk the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, mustard powder and 11/2 teaspoons salt in a large bowl. Whisk the milk, eggs and peanut oil in another bowl, then add to the cornmeal mixture and whisk until smooth. Pour the batter into a tall drinking glass, reserving any extra batter.
2. Heat 3 to 4 inches peanut oil in a large, wide saucepan over medium heat until a deep-fry thermometer registers 365°. Spread some flour in a shallow dish. Thread each hot dog three-quarters of the way onto an 8-inch wooden skewer. Dredge the hot dogs in flour, tapping off the excess.
3. Working in batches, dip the hot dogs into the glass of batter; let the excess drip back into the glass, then lower the hot dogs into the hot oil. Fry, turning, until golden,
4 to 5 minutes per batch. (Refill the glass with batter as needed.) Remove the corn dogs with tongs and drain on a paper towel-lined plate; season with salt.
