Servings: 5 Corn Dogs

Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup Buttermilk
  • 1 Egg yolk
  • 1 tablespoon Honey
  • 2/3 cup Yellow cornmeal
  • 1/3 cup All-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 tablespoon Granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon Salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon Smoked paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
  • 5 Sausages or Hot dogs cut into thirds

Instructions

  • Add 2 inches of oil to a deep frying skillet over medium heat and heat until it reaches 265.
  • Add buttermilk, egg, and honey to a small bowl and combine.
  • Add cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt to a separate large bowl and whisk.
  • Stir the wet ingredients into the dry until combined then dip the sausages in the batter.
  • Drip off excess then fry for 3-4 minutes or until light and golden and flip halfway through.
  • Repeat until everything is fried then drain on a cooling rack or paper towels then serve.

Notes

  • Everyone loves corn dogs with a crispy exterior and tender interior, right?! My best advice is to transfer the batter to a tall glass, then dip your sausages in. Make sure the sausages are completely covered. If there are air pockets or parts of the sausage peeking through, you’ll end up with cracked corn dogs.
