Steps to make

  1. 1

    Prepare the hot dogs

    5 min

    Dry the hot dogs using paper towels. Cut each hot dog in half. Take a lollipop stick and insert it into the cut end of the hot dog.

  2. 2

    Prepare the batter

    2 min
    Step 2 - Mini Corn Dogs

    Combine the flour, cornmeal, baking powder, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl. Whisk the milk and egg together in a cup and pour over the flour mixture. Whisk everything thoroughly until fully combined, with no lumps.

  3. 3

    Heat the oil

    2 min
    Step 3 - Mini Corn Dogs

    Pour the vegetable oil into a large pot. Make sure it’s deep enough that the hot dog will be fully submerged. Heat the oil to 360ºF. Lay some paper towels over a plate or tray.

  4. 4

    Coat the hot dogs in batter

    5 min
    Step 4 - Mini Corn Dogs

    Pour the batter into a large glass or measuring cup so that it’s easier to dip the hot dogs. Dip each hot dog in the batter so that it’s fully submerged, then gently shake off the excess.

  5. 5

    Fry the hot dogs

    30 min
    Step 5 - Mini Corn DogsStep 5 - Mini Corn Dogs

    Holding the lollipop stick and being careful of the hot oil, lower each hot dog into the oil and fry it until the batter turns crispy and golden. Then lay it on the plate so the paper can absorb any excess oil. Repeat until you have fried all the hot dogs. Eat while hot!

OMG, these Mini Corn Dogs are the bomb! My kiddos just gobbled them up for dinner and I was sneakin' a few myself. So easy to whip up—definitely a new family fave for lunchboxes too. Can't wait to make 'em again soon!
