Homemade Corn Dogs

Corn dogs bring back so many great memories for me. But ever since I started trying to eat healthier, I knew buying processed corn dogs from the freezer aisle wasn’t the best choice. Especially when I took a look at the ingredients label. Corn syrup, soy products, and nitrates? No thanks. But when I found a recipe on Pinterest for homemade corn dogs, I knew it was worth a shot. Luckily, they turned out perfectly and were a hit with the family.

I can already tell that these corn dogs will be a regular thing at my house. Everyone loved them, and they taste even better than the store bought kind.

 

I recommend using organic hot dogs from a health food store to ensure that the hot dogs don’t have added nitrates or fillers in them. Only the best for my family.

I was pretty surprised at how easy it was to make these corn dogs. The part that was a leeetle time consuming was the frying process, but that’s mostly because I have a large family. We had some sauteed kale with our homemade corn dogs and that was one of the best meals I’ve had in quite a while.

The recipe makes 16 corn dogs, but it can easily be doubled to yield 32 corn dogs if you’re serving a crowd.

You guys are gonna go crazy for these super easy homemade corn dogs! They’re so much better tasting than the kind from the store.

  5. I have heard of corn dogs, but had no idea what they were until now and I like the sound of them. We don’t have hot dogs very often because of the rubbish in them, but for an occasional treat I’ll make them. Maybe next time I’ll turn them into corn dogs for a change.

    Thank you for sharing this recipe. Pinning it for the winter.

    So, at what temperature on the fryer did you use?

  92. Jessica on May 7, 2015 at 5:17 pm said:

    If I were to bake instead of fry, I’m assuming I wouldn’t get as pretty of a corndog, but how long do you think I’d have to bake them for?

    • Thanks for the question Jessica! Unfortunately, I don’t think it would work to make a baked version of this. The batter would not behave well. The frying oil cooks it quickly on the outside to keep the batter in that nice corndog shape. I hope this helps! 🙂

  93. When you say to fry 3 at a time are you dropping stick and all into the oil or are you holding the stick?

  94. Those corn dogs look scrumptious. I can’t wait to try the recipe. Thanks for sharing! Pinning! 😛
