Test Kitchen tips for making the best corn dogs:

  • We find it helps to pat the sausages dry before dipping them into the batter. A dry surface helps the batter cling more evenly, giving the corn dogs a crisp, golden coating.
  • Corn dogs are best enjoyed fresh and hot, but if you do have leftovers, you can reheat them in a hot oven for a few minutes to crisp them up again.
  • If you’d like to add a touch of sweetness, try dusting the freshly fried corn dogs with a little caster sugar before serving – it’s a popular variation and works well with the savoury batter. A touch of mustard powder in the batter mix can also add a kick.
  • For a vegetarian twist, you can swap the frankfurters for your favourite veggie sausages. Just make sure they’re cooked through before coating and frying.

Method

  • step 1

    Tip the cornmeal, flour, egg, caster sugar, salt, baking powder and milk into a bowl, and whisk until you have a smooth, lump-free batter. Carefully pour the batter into a tall jug or glass.

  • step 2

    Push a wooden skewer through the length of each frankfurter, so it goes about three-quarters of the way through. Fill a pan no more than a third full with oil and heat to 180C, or until a cube of bread dropped in browns within 30 seconds.

  • step 3

    Working with one frankfurter at a time, submerge it into the batter and gently turn to coat – it should be completely covered. Carefully drop into the oil and fry for 2-3 mins, or until the batter is crisp and golden. Drain on a sheet of kitchen paper. Repeat with the remaining frankfurters. Serve with ketchup and American mustard for dipping or drizzling over.
