My kids were looking to make homemade corndogs and we were not disappointed! We left out the jalapenos to make it more kid-friendly, and I substituted paprika for cayenne. I recommend cutting the hot dogs in half for the kids. We all had a BLAST with this one!

Ok, I liked the recipe. But I cooked them in a 'fry baby' with about one quart of oil. Just do them about 3 at a time. I just don't deep fry that much.
So great!

If I had a food hero Alton would be it! After watching the bobblehead and the barefoot woman all day I look forward to Alton's informative, creative shows. We watch as a family and are always entertained. The fridge fairy...lol... Anyway, this is one of his best recipes. As noted, the batter works great for all type foods. I tend to jazz it up a bit depending on what I have on hand, but the cornstarch is the big secret. This is the most delicate, crispy batter I have ever seen. Yeah Alton, you rock dude!

Everyone loved them, little ones and adults alike! I used veggie dogs, and they were still great! I added a little more creamed corn than was called for b/c my batter looked a little too thick at first, but they were great! I didn't have any of the problems with batter sticking or bland flavors that other reviewers had. However, I omitted the jalape?o b/c there were kids eating it. Personally, I think it was kist fine without it!

Batter suctioned off in the tall glass, couldn't get a coating. What was left failed to adhere (had the thinnest possible starch coating) and made a big mess in the oil. tried twice and no change in results other than a bunch of wasted ingredients. Used peanut oil and had a candy thermometer to insure oil temp was correct and i only tried one dog at a time. I gave up on the corn dogs. The mini man burgers worked great however and are a new favorite when I can find the small buns.
Such GREAT eats!!

We loved, loved, loved this recipe. The family and I made a fun Sunday afternoon out of it. We didn't know what to expect with the jalapenos and all, but boy were we surprised. My husband agrees with Alton that these are the best corn dogs he'd ever had! There was so much batter and it is just so good that we started frying up everything in the fridge...cheese, vegetables, shrimp, chicken, anything we could find. We were stuffed and had a great time!!

In all honesty, the corn dogs tasted good. But they weren't traditional corn dogs. The mix only made a thin coating on the dogs, so it gave them a crisp outer shell. But there was no corn flavor or traditional cornbread coating. So good, but definitely not better than a regular corn dog. Also, at 375 our corndogs became brown at only about 60 seconds, so the internal hot dogs ended up being lukewarm at best.

We did these last night as we were frying a turkey. Figured if we were going to have the oil hot, we would try this too. They came out perfect, we all were delighted. We are planning on a big 'Corn Dog' party soon. We also used this batter, as there was easily more batter than we needed for 8 hot dogs, on some thick cut onion slices. They took about 3 minutes to cook and were fantastic.

Interesting mix, great flavor, and easy to make. I did have to add some more cornmeal and also dredged the dogs in flour instead of corn starch to help the patter stick. This recipe easily makes enough batter for more than 8 dogs. Dont hesitate to try it! youll like it!

Hi Alton I love this recipe and your show. We watch it every day and even my 9 year old daughter sets her alarm just to watch what your gonna come up with next. Your enthusiasm and the way you show and express the facts and history makes me want to know more about all foods I cook. I was starting to make your Corn Dogs for lunch one day and ooops I noticed that I had very little flour. I had maybe 2 tablespoons of flour left and stuck. Looking through the cupboards I realized that I had some "KRUSTEZ" PANCAKE MIX. So I replaced the flour with the pankcake mix and WOW WEE, It was AWSOME!!!!! The Corn Dogs came out light and fluffy without taking away from the flavor in any way. The first batch was just a little bit salty so on the next round I left out the salt and it made all the difference. I have made your corn dogs about 6 or 7 times before this and I love the recipe in the first place, but just try it once and you'll see!!

Ahhhh, I remember it well, sitting back and watching my favorite cooking show, Good Eats, and Alton Brown was making Corn Dogs. Not ordinary corn dogs, but a whole division of corn dog that I never even knew existed. These babies had style and grace and spice. Well, I ran out and bought a deep fat fryer and all the ingredients. I thought it was super easy to make and they tasted great. I would give these three tips to anyone who cares to read them. 1: I found 4 to 5 minutes in fryer to be a bit too long. I recomend going by color rather than time, unitl you figure out how long it takes in your fryer. 2 to 3 minutes and mine were ready for consumption, and yes, I was using the same temp... hell I even had the same model fryer AB used in the show. I wonder in elevation and/or humidity play a factor. 2: You've got a lot more batter here that you need to make 8 corn dogs... I think we were able to make about 20, and we still had some left, which brings us to the next tip... 3: This batter is not just for corn dogs people. We cooked chicken strips in it. We cooked halibut it in. And after all that, we thickend up the remaining batter with a bit more flour and made sort of Hush Puppie. All delicious.
Love it!

If you think those corn dogs at the fair are yummy, these ones are way beyond your tastebuds! I have to admit that I personally have not made these myself, so I can't attest to the ease or difficulty of the recipe. But, my sister made them and I ate one...one? No, you can't eat just one, lemme tellya! That crusty wrapper is flavorful beyond compare. Make sure you use good quality beef hot dogs (our family always uses Hebrew National) or you will lose or transform the mouthwatering flavor into something less than disirable...you know...more like that fair corn dog.

User: Jimmi from denver, CO User Rating:
Great recipe, However many have problems getting batter to stick to the hot dog, I am guessing that this may have to do with altitude, and found with in my experience to use a ratio of 2parts flour to 1 part cornmeal works better, you will also need to ad a little more baking powder as well, this gives a batter that will stick to the hotdog better, and give you the expected 5 star results that you want.

Well if you are going to eat hot dogs, this is the way to do it! They were a bit tricky to get the batter to stick. I'd suggest reading reviews to get tips. But, once we got the hang of it - boy were they wonderful. A deep fryer would have also helped but we managed in a large dutch oven. My father, who's heart doc would not approve, drove to my house to down a few without my mom knowing since he loves corn dogs. I'll make these again.

User: Jo Anne from Placentia, CA User Rating:
This turned out to be a pretty decent corn dog recipe. The jalapenos add a bit of a kick, so don't add them if you're weak of heart. When the batter wouldn't coat completely, I would do an initial coat, then put in oil to just set it a bit, the coat again and they turned out just like the fair! For those of you who said the batter was too thin, maybe you used the wrong size creamed corn can. When I went to get the creamed corn, I automatically grabbed the "regular" size can, but this is a SMALL can of cream corn. The batter was not runny and once you let it set, the baking powder caused it to expand a bit and it was nice and thick. And while you have that oil going, just beer batter some onion rings and throw them in the oil while you're making the corn dogs and you've got a complete meal! Good job Alton!

User: Adam from Austin, TX User Rating:
I've done this recipe a few different times with various results. A lot rests on the hot dogs being used. Check the sodium. I think this recipe is meant more for lower-sodium hot dogs, which one wouldn't probably pick up normally. The amount of salt has to be reduced. The coating is thin. Smaller diameter hot dogs tend to work better, but I find double digging in general gives a better coat. Keep some flour on the side, and roll the hot dog around in it after the first dip. That should give a good coat.
Excellent!

My 6 and 7 year olds loved these corn dogs. I added about a 1/2 cup more corn meal (because the batter seemed too thin to properly coat the dogs) and I left out the jalapeno (since my to youngest don't like a lot of spice).I left everything else the same and they came out great with little mess. Make sure your oil is at the right temp and they will cook quickly without too much grease left on the dogs. I also have plenty of batter left for round two tomorrow.

But Alton... much as we love you - this recipe stunk. The batter was good, don't get me wrong. The corn starch, tho? I even sifted it, but it was a much thicker coating than I had anticipated, even with much shaking. And 375 was way too hot - the batter turned golden brown long before 4 minutes passed. So the kids ended up with overcooked batter and undercooked dogs with a wierd taste sensation between the two. This one's not a keeper in out house. Sorry!

The recipe was good, but the corn batter was not sweet enough (as compared to what you get at the county fair) I used a high quality dog and would recommend going with a just your standard supermarket frank if the goal is to try to bring back the memory of dogs at the fair. I liked the chili addition, but more would have been better.

WE didn't include the creamed corn or jalepenos the 1st time we tried these for our 4th of July lunch, and they wee still great. I image the creamed corn makes the batter wetter than what I had, so it sticks better than what I had. I had to use a spatula to get the hot dogs coated completely. I also used a Fry Daddy deep fryer so I cut my hot dogs in half and it worked really well. We had really thick chopsticks and they were a great idea, much better than the popsicle sticks my daughter complained about not having for this meal. Another awesome meal from Altie with which I surprised my chef hubby.

Takes some practice, but this technique has endless variations
02/06/2005 at 07:09am
User: ROBERT from Los Angeles, CA User Rating:
The recipe is a perfect template, but many factors must be tested. Your fryer, choice of fat, flour and meal brands, buttermilk type (fat% & brand), creamed corn brand, jalapenjo type and onion processing method all play a bigger part than the show and recipe dictate. A $10 food processor will eschew any tears from onions but can yeild more flavor because they loose less liquid. The distinction between sweet and hot Jalpenos is key, an extra sweet jaly will do no damage and add flavor, but an extra hot will ruin it for the faint of tongue. Also the batter texture must hold the onion, pepper and corn kernels to the dog, while still only lightly coating. Experiment with these factors as well as turkey, chicken, pork or beef franks, the more savory the batter the less fat you may need in the dog (Turkey & chicken - low, Beef and pork - high). Bottom line: When I followed Alton's instructions to the letter I was annointed a corn dog hero. He rules.

Batter difficult to stick to hot dogs
01/29/2005 at 04:20pm
User: TINA from Glasgow, KY User Rating:
Firstly, I'd like to say that this batter tasted terrific and we all agreed it was the best we had ever had. Since we have kids, I halved the cayenne pepper and dropped out jalapeno peppers, but if you like it really spicy, you could keep those in. Unfortunately, I had a VERY difficult time getting the batter to stick to the hot dog, even after trying coating it with the cornstarch in several differen thicknesses. I finally ended up letting it soak in the batter for a minute or two and then putting a large serving spoon under the dog to keep the batter from dropping off until I could get it in the deep fryer. Since it was difficult to get it to stick, I had to give it a lower rating overall. The leftover batter made TERRIFIC hush puppies, though. I imagine it would be great to turn some kind of vegetables into fritters, too.

Just tried the corn dog recipe. I've long been a fan of A.B.'s 'man burgers', but these just came right up next to them. I had to do some ingredient substitution on my end because I didn't grab everything (e.g. had regular milk, but not buttermilk), but they still tasted great. The batter seems to make enough for much more, so I would probably only increase the number of hot dogs if I tried it again.

i made the mixture per directions but tripled it because the recipe said 8 hot dogs and i wanted to do 24. i think the recipe as written is enough batter to coat about 24 hot dogs. i found that allthough an easy recipe to prepare and the end result very tasty, i wish it would have made a thicker batter after fried. i think maybe the next time i will put the batter into the food processor to break up the creamed corn a little finer. hopefully this will cause less running of the batter and create a more heavily coated dog. all in all a very good experience.

I haven't fried anything in my life because I know it is so easy to mess up. That, and grease going everywhere. I followed the tip below about slowly pulling the hotdog out of the batter while twisting. Seemed to help. The first ones were a bit greasy. After a few attempts, what I discovered is that I left them in too long. They weren't burnt or anything. They were nice and golden. But I found out they got just as brown with less time. The last ones were just perfect. Minor modification: I did not put in jalapenos because I dislike spicy food. I did put in the Cayenne pepper, but it had no spicy taste in the final outcome. I'm very happy with my first fry attempt, and my friends loved them.

This is a very good corn dog. I have several issues with it. One is, any recipe that calls for minced onion contains a measure of pain and suffering that I am just not sure corn dogs are worth. The other is I can't manage to get the dogs out of the fry basket without ripping some of the crust off. Finally, there are a lot of unusual ingredients, stuff I don't keep at home, so it took a whole lot of effort to get the job done. That said, these are some great corn dogs. I like 'em. I'll probably fry up some more some time. But it took a lot of work to get a few corn dogs, and I had to cry over onions. Michael
temperature is important

putting the dogs in at 360 is a LOT different than the results you get if you nail 375 right on the head. Get your temperature right. Mine didn't come out too hot, but I think that is because I cut out the center portion of the pepper before mincing it. (See AB's chile episode) It came out with a fruity jalapeno flavor, but no heat at all to speak of. I am going to trim the chile less aggressively on the next batch to turn up the heat. The batter seems to come off the dog unless you draw it back out gradually with a slight twisting motion (as if infusing paint on a brush).

These tasted great (although I didn't think they were hot at all). I did have trouble with the batter sticking. So I fried them once and then let them cool and redipped them and fried them each again. This made them nicely coated.

These are definitely the best corn dogs we have ever eaten. My whole family loved them. We have already used this recipe several times and will continue to do so. I am sorry to say that I can no longer eat store bought corndogs!!

My partner and daughter don't like creamed corn. They don't like buttermilk. But they LOVED these corndogs! Simply the best corndogs we have ever had! Thanks, Alton. You're the man.

I too had trouble gettting the coating to stay on the hot dog. I put it in the oil for a minute and then redipped it in the mix and it ended up being totally covered. Hope this helps!
Great but Help!

This is a wonderful recipe! However, since I am an amateur fryer, I need some extra help... I can't seem to get very much batter on the hot dogs... any suggestions?

Alton's right, once you have these corn dogs you will not want to go back to anything else. My wife and I made these as a fun dinner with a new couple we had just met. They loved it!! ...and then he started throwing everything he could find in the left over batter and cooking it. We not only had corn dogs, but pickles, zucchini, and more. Everything we tried made really good eats, and turned it into a fun evening. Enjoy!
Good Dog

Very tasty recepie. I didn't put in quite as much caynne pepper or the jalapenos because I didn't have them, but still turned out very well. I did find that the tempreture was just a little high and cooked the outside too fast, leaving the very middle of the dogs cold, but don't go too low either or the batter just doesn't cook up so well.
