Homemade Corn Dogs
Our family loves corn dogs and pigs in a blanket recipes!
They’re those fun recipes that make perfect family nights or weekend parties extra fun!
This recipe is incredibly easy and may remind you (ok…it WILL remind you) of your favorite theme park (you know the ones in California and Florida) corn dogs.
The homemade version, of course, not the heat and eat version! :)
Ingredients Needed for Homemade Corn Dogs
All Beef Hotdogs
This is our preference, but turkey or chicken ones will work as well.
We prefer the flavor of the all beef version though and think you will too!
All Purpose Flour
You probably have a few cups sitting in your pantry!
Corn Meal
Yes, you absolutely NEED corn meal for this recipe.
Don’t try it with only flour.
Baking Powder.
Again, you probably have this staple in your pantry.
We try to keep our recipes super simple!
White Sugar.
Gives it a touch of sweetness…just like your favorite theme park, homemade corn dogs!
Shortening
This delivers the perfect texture in the cornbread layer on the corn dog.
Milk
Helps all the ingredients blend well to form the perfect batter!
Cooking Oil
For deep frying, of course!
