There is a litte town about 20 minutes from where I live called Veyo. They have a popular pool there that is nestled
and surrounded by trees and rocks. I have so many fun memories playing and swimming there as a kid. We would catch
crawdads that crawl around outside the pool, play at the arcade and have a blast swimming. They also serve amazing
food! They are known for their to-die-for corn dogs!
I crave their corn dogs every now and then, so I decided it was time to try making some at home. They turned
out unbelievably delicious! I dont own a deep fryer, so I just used a medium pot to deep-fry the corn dogs in. Although it
seems a little intimidating, they were really easy to make.
My kids loved them and my Hubby inhaled three! I ate one, but dreamed about eating five
I will be making these again soon, without a doubt.

INGREDIENTS
1 1/2 cups yellow cornmeal
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup sugar
1 Tablespoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 egg, beaten
1 1/2 cups buttermilk (regular milk works too)
1 Tablespoon vegetable oil
1 Tablespoon honey
1 (10 count) package Hot Dogs
10 wooden skewers or chopsticks
2 Quarts Vegetable Oil, for frying
INSTRUCTIONS
1. In a medium or large pot, add the oil. Turn heat to medium and heat oil to 350 degrees F.
2. In a large bowl, add the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Stir together. Then add the beaten egg,
buttermilk, oil and honey. Stir until combined. (Batter should be a little thicker than pancake batter)
3. Remove hot dogs from package. Wipe them all dry with a paper towel (this will help the batter stick to them better)
Insert one skewer or wooden stick into each hot dog.
4. Pour the batter into a tall drinking glass. Holding by the skewer, take one hot dog and dunk it into the batter,
coating all of the hot dog. Slowly remove from batter and let a little excess batter drip back into the cup. Immediately
place it into the hot oil, while still holding the stick. Turn as necessary to brown all sides. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or
until all sides are a deep golden brown. Remove from hot oil and place on paper towels to drain grease. Repeat with
all hot dogs.

Cool recipe, these look professional!
Hey Mrs Lofthouse, are you okay with people Pinning a link to your recipes as long as they give credit to where it
came from? Or no? I like to save recipes I like in one place but since Pins are public I figure its good etiquette to
ask first. Thanks!

Ashlynn, sorry you had trouble with yours. Ive made these twice since posting them (cause we love
em so much! Lol) and they always turn out awesome! Just make sure youre drying the hot dogs really well
before you try coating them with the batter. Thats what helps make the batter stick.

These look awesome! Havent had a corn dog in years! I know the recipe makes enough batter to coat
10 hot dogs so I wanted to find out if it can be stored in the fridge and used later? As a singleton with no kids,
theres no way I will eat 10 corn dogs on my own:-) Thanks!

Just Me- I honestly am not sure. Was your oil not hot enough? If its at the right temp it should fry
immediately. Like I said above Ive made these a few times now and have never had that problem.

Hi! I just stumbled upon your recipe and those corn dogs look really delicious. Theres just something I
would like to ask.
I have a gluten intolerance, so would it be possible to leave the all purpose flour out of the mix? Do you know if
the result will be the same?

Holly L says

Melody, I have only used the flour in this recipe. Not sure if it would work without it. Sorry!

Just Me says

Yes, the oil was hot enough, the only thing I can think of is I used a skillet, and didnt submerge them all
the way?
I was making cupcakes the same day, so I used the leftover batter and made three corn muffins, they were pretty
tasty.
Melody, I think using Almond flour would make them delish.

I think using a skillet is the problem. You need to use a deep pot so the hot dogs can submerge fully
into the oil. No wonder the batter fell off it was hitting the skillet

I havent tried the corn dogs yet but THE VEYO POOL??!!! I spent my summers in that pool! I too remember

I just now made these, and while they do taste good, the batter did not stick as well. As soon as I pulled
them out of the batter it would slide off and I followed the directions to the T. Dried them and all. The batter was
too thin and when fried there coating was too thin.

I hope this reply gets posted under the corn dog recipe (http://life-in-the-lofthouse.com/homemadecorn-dogs/#comments)not sure if Trackbacks is a different article. I tried the corn dogs and at first the batter
was too thin and slid off of the hot dog as soon as it hit the hot oil. So I added about 1/8 cup of corn meal and
the same amount of flour, and then it worked. The corn dogs were okay, but Id put more honey in the batter next
time, as I like them sweeter. Also, I thought the meat would be hot after boiling in oil, but the hot dogs were only
lukewarm, which I found unappetizing, so I zapped five at a time in the microwave for a minute, and that
warmed up the meat while leaving the coating unaffected. My corn dogs turned out darker brown, perhaps
because we dont keep white sugar on hand, so I substituted natural (brown granular) sugar. Also, I live in Mexico,
where its hard to find buttermilk, so I made my own by adding 1 Tbsp white vinegar to a cup of whole milk and
letting it sit five minutes. We dont have corn meal either, surprisinglytheres either corn or masa (corn flour for
making tortillas)and corn meal is ms granuladahad to get that in the States. Finally, we are at high
altitude in San Miguel de Allende, in the middle of the country, so that may have affected the cooking, as well. I
made five, not ten, so we have leftover batter and being from Minnesota, missing the food-on-a-stick at the
Minnesota State Fair, Im going to skewer a pickle, dry it off and try coating it with batter. My partner, who is
Mexican, wants to use the leftover batter for milanesas de pollo (pounded chicken breasts coated in batter and
sauteed).

Definitely recommend adding an extra 1/2 cup of yellow corn meal and an extra 1/2 cup of flour to the
mix. I followed the recipe to a T & the batter slid off the first one as soon as it hit the frying oil BUT they fried up
perfectly after I added the extra flour & corn meal. Wonderful recipe, thanks!

I just place them on a paper towel-lined plate to soak up the grease. You can even wrap the
paper towels around them and gently press to get rid of that excess grease, too

My boyfriend and I just made these, and wow they taste good. I didnt have any problems with my
batter like the others on here. I made sure hot dogs were dry, and when I put them in the cup of batter, I swirled it
so that the batter would cover the end by the stick. I then left it in for about 2 minutes. As soon as I started frying 1
dog, I put another in the batter and let it set until the pan was empty again. We only ate about 3 of them, very
filling, so I am going to put them in a bag and freeze them. I will tell you if they turn out alright after freezing

Just made these tonight and they came out wonderful! For some odd reason the batter kept falling off
when I used the whole hot dog, so I cut them in half so they were smaller and then they turned out just great (also
cuter, because mini food is just the best). My brother, who is a very picky eater, said they were the best corn dogs
hes eaten. Everyone was eating them as fast as I could make em. I followed the recipe to a T and used low fat
milk. Thanks, Holly L!

Just made these tonight and they turned out great. I had to let the batter sit for about 10 minutes
waiting for the oil to heat up and that helped thicken it up. I also made sure to let the oil get to exactly 350
degrees before I started frying the corn dogs. I think that and letting the batter thicken on its own kept the batter
from sliding off.
I only made 5 corn dogs because it was getting late and my family was hungry. I used the rest of the batter to
make muffins and decided to experiment and fried a little bit of the batter by itself just by dropping a spoonfull
into the oil. Very yummy! With some adjustments to seasonings, this batter would make some delicious hush
puppie, but that will be an experiment for another day.
