Ingredients

  • 1 gallon peanut oil
  • 1 cup yellow cornmeal
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 2 tablespoons (approximately 1 large) jalapeno pepper, seeded and finely minced
  • 1 (8.5-ounce) can cream-style corn
  • 1/3 cup finely grated onion
  • 1 1/2 cups buttermilk
  • 4 tablespoons cornstarch, for dredging
  • 8 beef hot dogs

Directions

Special equipment: 8 sets chopsticks, not separated

Pour oil into a deep fryer or large heavy pot and heat to 375 degrees F. In a medium mixing bowl, combine the cornmeal, flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda, and cayenne pepper. In a separate bowl, combine the jalapeno, corn, onion, and buttermilk. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients all at once, and stir only enough times to bring the batter together; there should be lumps. Set batter aside and allow to rest for 10 minutes.

Scatter the cornstarch into a dry pie pan. Roll each hot dog in the cornstarch and tap well to remove any excess.

Transfer enough batter to almost fill a large drinking glass. Refill the glass as needed. Place each hot dog on chopsticks, and quickly dip in and out of the batter. Immediately and carefully place each hot dog into the oil, and cook until coating is golden brown, about 4 to 5 minutes. With tongs, remove to cooling rack, and allow to drain for 3 to 5 minutes.

    Great recipe. However, we were able to fry up 10 hot dogs and 6 cheese-on-a-stick with just one batch of batter. And still had tons left-over! I think I can make cornbread pudding with the remaining batter...

    I am officially a corn dog convert thanks to this recipe! We used Chicago's Vienna Beef hot dogs (awesome. The batter was easy to make. When fried up, the dogs were fluffy, light, and crispy with LOTS of flavor. None of the doughy flavorless garbage you get at carnivals. Directions were easy & perfect. The only change we made was to set our cooking timer for 3-4 mins instead of the 4-5 minutes suggested based on our fryer. Also, I like my food spicy, so I think next time, I may try a little extra jalapeno and a bit of cayenne. Note: as we finished off the last of the dogs, we had bits of batter that had fallen into the fryer. I was straining these bits and putting them on the paper towel lined plate I had out. Some of our guests were eating these. Next thing I knew, I was being asked to take the leftover batter and fry it up. I complied - made some kind of spicy, VERY flavorful funnel cake-like things. Fabulous
