Preparation
STEP 1

Combine pancake mix, cornmeal, and sugar. Add water (about 1 1/2 cups) and mix until batter is slightly thick.

STEP 2

Using a fryer, deep skillet, or soup pot, heat oil to 325°F. If using a skillet, you’ll be placing the hot dogs in horizontally and rolling them. If using a soup pot, you’ll be submerging them vertically.

STEP 3

Insert sticks or skewers about 2/3 of the way into room-temperature hot dogs. Dip hot dogs in batter. Fry corn dogs 3-4 minutes, rotating often, or until golden brown. Work in batches to not overcrowd your pan.

Options

For a fun twist try cooking corn dogs in a waffle maker, pre-heated and coated with pan spray.

To make it easier to coat your hot dogs with batter, pour it into a glass (at least the length of the hot dog) and then dip!
