Ingredients

Scale
  • Hot dogs or sausages (beef, pork, chicken, or cheese-filled)
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour (120 g)
  • 1/4 cup potato starch or cornstarch (30 g)
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar (25 g)
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 cup milk (whole or 2%) (120 ml)
  • 1/4 cup water (60 ml)
  • Vegetable oil (canola or peanut) for deep frying
  • Granulated sugar for coating
  • Wooden skewers
  • Optional: shredded mozzarella cheese
  • Optional: breadcrumbs or panko

Instructions

  1. Pat dry hot dogs or sausages with paper towels. Insert wooden skewers lengthwise, leaving enough handle to hold while frying. If using cheese, cut mozzarella sticks to match hot dog length and skewer alongside or wrapped inside. (5 minutes)
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together flour, potato starch, sugar, and baking powder. In a separate bowl, beat egg with milk and water. Combine wet and dry ingredients, stirring until smooth but thick enough to coat skewered hot dogs evenly. Adjust consistency with water or flour if needed. (10 minutes)
  3. Pour vegetable oil into a deep fryer or large heavy-bottomed pot to a depth of 3-4 inches. Heat oil to 350°F (175°C), monitoring with a thermometer. (10 minutes)
  4. Dip each skewered hot dog into the batter, turning to coat fully. Optionally roll in panko breadcrumbs for extra crunch. Carefully lower into hot oil. Fry 3-4 at a time for 3-4 minutes until golden brown and crispy, turning occasionally. Avoid overcrowding. (15 minutes)
  5. Remove corn dogs with tongs or slotted spoon and let excess oil drip off. Place on a cooling rack or paper towels. While still warm, sprinkle or roll in granulated sugar to coat evenly. (5 minutes)
  6. Serve warm with ketchup, mustard, or spicy mayo if desired.

Notes

Pat hot dogs dry before battering to help batter stick. Maintain oil temperature at 350°F for best crispiness. Roll in sugar while corn dogs are warm for best coating adhesion. Batter should be thick enough to coat but not runny. For gluten-free, substitute flour with gluten-free blend and use almond milk. Cheese-stuffed variation recommended for extra flavor.
