Bypass the freezer aisle and whip up a DIY recipe for Easy Homemade Mini Corn Dogs perfect for dipping and dunking!
The humble hot dog can be many a wondrous snack, especially when it goes beyond the bun. While Everything Puff Pastry Pigs In a Blanket have been a mealtime game-changer around here, it was time to tackle a DIY spin on a deep-fried delicacy I grew up eating regularly while making the rounds at mall food courts: corn dogs!
The setup couldn’t be more simple for this snack-sized spin on homemade corn dogs.
A quick-fix cornmeal batter, made with just a handful of fridge and pantry staples, comes together in minutes. Then it’s time to choose your hot dog (or cocktail weenie!) and grab the skewers, which can be lollipop sticks or Popsicle sticks.
Coat the halved hot dogs in the cornmeal batter then dunk them in boiling oil to see the cornmeal crust come to life. It puffs up perfectly around the hot dogs, creating the ultimate snack-on-a-stick.
Looking to build your stash of freezer snacks? The fried corn dogs, once cooled completely, can be stored securely in sealable plastic bags then microwaved or baked to be reheated.

Ingredients
- 1 (12-oz.) package hot dogs
- 1/2 cup yellow cornmeal
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 Tablespoons sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 cup whole milk
- Vegetable oil, for frying
Equipment:
- lollipop sticks; deep-fry thermometer
Instructions
- Cut each hot dog in half then insert a lollipop stick into the cutoff end of each hot dog. Thoroughly dry off the hot dogs with paper towels.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. In a liquid measuring cup, whisk together the egg and milk. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until combined using a spoon or spatula. (See Kelly’s Note.)
- Add 4 inches of oil to a large, heavy-bottomed stock pot. Attach the deep-fry thermometer then heat the oil over medium-high heat until the thermometer reaches 360ºF. Line a plate with paper towels.
- Dip each hot dog in the batter until it’s completely coated, lightly shake off the excess then lower it into the hot oil. Fry the corn dog until golden and crispy, about 3 minutes, then transfer it to the paper towel-lined plate. Repeat the breading and frying process with the remaining hot dogs. Serve immediately.
Kelly’s Notes:
- When dipping the hot dogs in the batter, it’s easiest if you pour the batter into a tall glass.
- The lollipop sticks can be fried, so you can carefully lower the corn dogs into the oil, stick and all.

Recipe was great but the corn dogs would float in the oil and cook unevenly. Any tips to prevent that? Thanks!!
Hi Stacey! Did you rotate the corn dogs as they were cooking in the oil?
one of the best receipe for corndogs. All time favourite of my children, specially when they have sleepovers. Thanks for the yummy receipe.
I’m so glad you enjoyed the recipe, Jean!
Oh yummmm! I used some cocktail hotdogs that i had frozen and i made sure they were thawed, dried off and coated with some corn starch and the came out perfect!! Easy recipe too! I had everything on hand!!
Awesome! I’m so happy you enjoyed the recipe, Patty!
Best corn dogs ever! I make a triple batch everytime and there are never any leftovers!
WOWZA! I’m so thrilled you’ve been enjoying the recipe, Ginette!
My batter does not stick to the hot dog. What am I doing wrong
Hi there! Did you thoroughly dry off the hot dogs with paper towels?
Try dusting the hot dogs with corn startch before you dip them. I find it workss.
I had this happen…I’m convinced it’s because I purchased the “skinless” hot dogs. I’m trying again tonight with Ballparks. Fingers crossed!
Looking forward to reading your results, Anna!
Felt a little snack-ish last night and I tried this recipe. Quick and easy to make. Me and my daughter enjoyed them.
I’m so glad you and your daughter enjoyed the recipe, Arlene!
Omg!!!
This has become a family favorite in our house! My children will now refuse to eat brought ploto pups/ dagwood dogs/ corn dogs. I often do bite size ones to for school lunches or just because snacks lol
Yum yum yum!! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Love, love, LOVE reading this Chanel! I’m thrilled your family has been enjoying the mini corn dogs :)
Easy recipe. Just enough sweetness. Skipped the wooden skewers and just put the cut up hotdogs right in the batter and used a spoon to put into oil. Delicious.
I’m so happy you enjoyed the recipe, Dannielle!
For the batter can you use Jiffy corn muffin mix to make it even easier?
Hi Verian – I haven’t tried that so I can’t say with certainty what the results would be.
Easy and most excellent. They were very good and fun to make.
I’m so glad you enjoyed the recipe, Neko!
How do u make them crispy mine came out soft
Did you confirm your oil temp was correct, Cash?
I use this recipe everytime though since filling a plant based diet I have substituted the egg for aquafaba and the milk with oat milk and the Fry’s frozen hot dogs and these turned out beautifully. Thanks
I’m so glad you’ve been enjoying the recipe, Andy!
Forgot to add the rating on my first comment! Was eating my mini corn dogs lol
haha! Thanks so much for rating the recipe! :)
This recipe is perfect! Made these for a lazy Sunday afternoon snack! Thoroughly enjoyed and will definitely make them again!
I’m so thrilled you enjoyed the recipe, Cheryl!
I haven’t had mini corn dogs since grade school. I used the hill shire lil smokies and omg I was back in elementary. My grandmother and I enjoyed them. Thank you for the recipe.
You are so welcome, Felisha! I’m thrilled you and your grandmother enjoyed the recipe!
Super fast and easy! I will use again for sure, but next time perhaps some garlic and onion powder and a smidge more sugar….want more of that carnival corndog taste??? We shall see. Thanks for sharing!
I’m so glad you enjoyed the recipe, Jamie!
i make these corn dogs for my brother as he is a picky eater and he adores them and always looks forward to his corn dog fridays.
thanks so much.
I’m so thrilled to read this, Keira!
I am only 12, but once I get back to school I am going to do this I always wanted to taste a corn dog and I have a good feeling about this recipe.
Awesome! I hope you enjoy the recipe, Keira!
Delicious
I was looking forward to making this recipe however things must be a little different here in Australia! The lollypop sticks melted, I could only leave the dogs in for 20 seconds before they burned, and the batter was quite sloppy so didn’t really stick. Also here, we always cook the frankfurts before battering so that added an extra step. I was cooking for an ‘American food’ competition. Other entrants bought sticky ribs, pork sliders and things like that but when I walked in with my corn dogs everyone was “oooooh someone made corn dogs!”, so even though it was more difficult than planned, they were still a big hit. Thanks!
I’m glad they were still a big hit at the competition! :)
Other recipes I’ve seen say they can be frozen and reheated at about 400 degrees F. for 15-20 minutes (but obviously, keep an eye on them while they’re in there!)
Thanks for the tip, Cheryl!
I want to try these so bad! Why am I not seeing the recipe???
Hi Cindy – The recipe is underneath the last image of this post :)
Okay okay I will comment…!! I will have to say this is a first time and the kids… well let’s just say there was nothing left. But we did add lib… We put both halves in a hot dog bun then added chili and Cheese Whiz. I would have taken a photo but my hands were wiping faces off instead. Easy recipe and very tasty.
Woohoo! I’m so thrilled you enjoyed the recipe, Eric!
LOVE this recipe it was so delicious! Weird thing was I needed almost a cup of milk (maybe because I used skim milk and not whole milk) but otherwise it came out great. I pre boiled my hot dogs so they’re juicier and plump up. Hit last night for movie night!
Woohoo! I’m so thrilled you enjoyed the recipe, Amaryllis!
I love them super easy to make and delish
I’m so glad you enjoyed the recipe, Imaan!
Amazing! Kids loved them and added bonus as they were different to our ‘normal’ (UK) hot dog day. Despite us all loving them, I have some left over… can they be frozen? If so, how would you recommend reheating them? Thank you xx
Hi Jade! I’ve never tried freezing them and reheating so I’m not sure if the breading would still be crispy. Sorry I can’t be of more help!
Easy, delicious, and I really appreciated the very reasonable amount of batter so I wasn’t stuck frying the whole day. They fried up nice and clean, too – I’ve been using the leftover oil bit by bit for sauteeing and whatnot. I had some little wooden appetizer fork-type things that worked perfectly as mini-skewers. Only problem: I could be happy eating them once or twice a week! ;-)
I’m thrilled you enjoyed the recipe, Tessa!
Easy, delicious, and I really appreciated that it makes a reasonable amount of batter so I wasn’t frying all day! ;-)
I’m so glad you enjoyed the recipe, Tessa!
These are awesome and simple to make.
I’m so thrilled you enjoyed the recipe, Kim!
The corndogs tasted wonderful I did a batch and a half that’s probably where I messed up. I’ll only do one batch next time I just had alot of them to cook. I love your recipes. Thank you so much for posting.
You are so welcome, Melissa! I’m thrilled you enjoyed the recipe!
My minis came out really puffy. Do I need to add more milk? My batter was really thick.
Hi Melissa! Yes, feel free to add more milk if needed.
My batter was so thick it puff up. Di I need to add more milk?
Hi Melissa – Did you follow the proportions are listed? And yes, you can thin with more milk :)
The dip fell off the dogs when I put it in the oil.
Hi there! Did you thoroughly dry off the hot dogs with paper towels before dipping in the batter?
These were a delight, and SO easy to make! I’m so happy I stumbled upon your recipe! I smiled with giddiness at each corndog that came out of the oil. haha These will definitely be a new staple. Cheers!
Woohoo! I’m so thrilled you enjoyed the recipe, Marty!
This corn dog recipe is so good. My grandson was visiting and insisted we have corn dog for lunch. I’ve never cooked it before and came across your recipe. It was easy and taste delicious. Thank you so much from a grandma who was really stressing.
I’m so thrilled you and your grandson enjoyed the recipe, Rosemarie!
Love these recipes looking forward to getting more.
Thank you so much for your readership, Jane! I’m glad you’ve been enjoying the recipes!
So good! Thank you!! I hadn’t had a corn dog in over a decade and this is the first time I’ve ever made them myself. I swapped out wheat flour for gluten free and it works though needs a splash or two more milk then. Brought me back to county fairs as a teen! Yum!
Yay! I’m so thrilled you enjoyed the recipe, Gabby!

Just made these with little smokies. Messy since I didn’t use sticks. I had to thin the recipe down a bit. Super yummy! Thanks for the recipe
You are so welcome, Leanne! I’m thrilled you enjoyed the recipe!
More recipes please,
Hi Tracey! I’ve added you to the Just a Taste email list. So glad you want to stay up-to-date with us!
How long in adavance can I make this.
Hi Sophia – These are best enjoyed right after making them!
Made them with smoked cheese grillers on the inside. They were super tasty! Very simple recipe to follow and a everybody loved them.
YUM! So glad you enjoyed the recipe!
Can I bake instead of frying
Hi Danielle – I haven’t tried baking the corn dogs before, so I can’t say with certainty if that would work out.
Tried these for my kids and they turned out great.
One change I made was to use buttermilk rather than whole milk in the batter. Think it’s an improvement, just like pancakes or muffins benefit from using it.
I’m so glad you enjoyed the recipe, Tom!
Would this work in an airfryer?
Hi Carly – I’ve never tried making these in an air fryer so I’m not sure!
I just made these and they came out looking beautiful and were tasty. I will make them again but I will add a lil bit more sugar to the batter next time. Thank you for this simple recipe.
I’m so glad you enjoyed the recipe, Theresa!
I froze my corndogs they were still the same I put them in oven on low
So glad that worked, Kathleen!

Can I freeze the leftover batter for another time? I only have one child and he doesn’t eat a lot.
Hi Norma – I wouldn’t recommend that, but you may be able to freeze the corn dogs after frying them. However, I’ve never tried freezing and reheating them so I’m not sure if the breading would still be crispy.
Hi should I use fine corn meal, extra fine, coarse? There’s so many in the markets these days. Thank you
Fine cornmeal!
Thanks for the mini corn dogs recipe, Kelly! I didn’t have whole milk, so used half-half instead. My family loved them!
I’m so glad to hear this, Connie!
Thankyou for sharing the recipe, just made one and had Macro Australian Polenta in pantry (which I think is almost the equivalent to cornmeal in America)? and used DON skinless Footy Franks which is nearly on par with what we call here in Australia “Dippy/Dagwood Dogs at shows. The only thing I’ll probably change is using only one tablespoon sugar instead of two as I felt tasted a little sweet to my liking, but that is just a personal preference, otherwise they were the best and by far the closest to the real thing and easy to do, especially the tall glass trick which I would never have thought of.
PS I used 6inch frank, but love the idea of halving for snacks. :-)
I’m so thrilled you enjoyed the recipe, Catherine!
COULD I MAKE THE CORN DOGS AND THEN FREEZE THEM AND RE-HEAT THEM LATER? OR EVEN MAKE THEM EARLIER IN THE DAY AND LEAVE IN FRIDGE TO REHEAT LATER THE SAME DAY?
Hi there! I’ve never tried that so I can’t say with certainty what the results would be but my guess is that they may get soggy when you reheat them. Let me know if you give it a shot!
Hi. Would it be okay to use own cornbread recipe? If yes, should mixture be thicker or thinner? Which would adhere best, ? Thanks kindly for sharing! They look so delicious!
Can the batter be made a day in advance? Thanks Anita
Hi Anita – I wouldn’t recommend that as the leavening agent will start to work immediately.
Love the tip about putting the batter in a tall glass to easily coat the wieners. Thanks
You are so welcome! Enjoy :)
Hi Kelly,
I’m looking forward to making these for my son’s carnival themed birthday! What size lollipop sticks did you use? Thank you!
6″ or 8″ work great!
As a teacher of Home Economics I had my grade 7 students use this recipe to demonstrate their weighing and measuring sklls, they enjoyed the end results much more than the actual weighing and measuring of the ingredients. Great and easy recipe, thanks for sharing.
How cool! I’m so glad you and your students enjoyed this recipe, Patsie :)
Can these be made ahead and reheated in the oven?
Hi Lynda – I’ve never tried that so I can’t say with certainty what the results would be but my guess is that they may get soggy when you reheat them. Let me know if you give it a shot!
Should hotdogs be boiled prior to dipping?
No need!
Made these for a party but used little smokes instead and everyone loved them, anyone that walked pass the table came back with a hand full and their great dipped in bulls eye bbq sauce and the kids went nuts over them, I will be making these for every party from now on, thanks so much for sharing .
Woohoo! Thrilled you enjoyed the recipe, Beverly!
Being from Asia I have never had corn dog in my whole life so I’d like to try this thank you so much for the recipe
I hope you enjoy the corn dogs, Jo!
Made this just now 12-20-17. I had everything I needed to make this Mini Corn Dogs. So easy to make and fun. My son loves it. His bringing some for snack to work. I’m adding this for our Christmas party at home. Thanks for sharing and Merry Christmas.
I’m so glad you enjoyed the recipe, Flordeliza!
I’m making these for my son’s football birthday party thanks alot
Happy birthday to your son! I hope you enjoy the recipe :)
Im an English woman. Bought the ingredients and can’t wait to get the corn dogs done. We are having an evening of American theme’s. This will add to the event perfectly.
Enjoy, Ruth!
Hi Kelly,
I would like to make these as “appetizers” for our family gathering at Christmas. Can I make them ahead of time and freeze them? Also, if yes, what would you recomend for reheating?
Hi Lori! I’ve never tried freezing them and reheating so I’m not sure if the breading would still be crispy.
Great Recipe.
So glad you enjoyed it!
Hi Kelly, I want to make corn dog batter coated shrimp. Should I precook the shrimp? I know I will have to hold the shrimp tail a few seconds, in the oil, till the batter gets light crust before I drop them in the the oil. Corn dog were great.
Thanks in advance.
Kenny
Hi Kenny! I think it depends on the size of the shrimp and if you’re halving them at all, but my gut tells me that you wouldn’t need to pre-cook them, as shrimp cook very quickly… especially when fried!
Thank you for the corndog recipe kelly…
I’ll try it… .
Godbless…
You are so welcome, Bern!
I LOVE CORN DOGS!!!! Thank you for sharing a recipe that I can do at home!
Will the hotdog be thoroughly cook after you fry them or should I boil them first then dip in the batter?
Hi there! A majority of hot dogs are already fully cooked and just have to be warmed, so if you use that type of hot dog, you’ll be all set. :)
THere’s no such thing as a “raw” hot dog, ALL hot dogs are fully cooked when you buy them in the store but best to be heated to a steaming hot as they could be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes after they have been processed and packaged at the plant.
Made these the other day and they were so perfect. They were not as crisp on the outside as I would have liked but everything else including the shape was perfect!
So glad you enjoyed the corn dogs, Sara!
I was thinking of light coat of flour but I think corn starch is a better idea ,, thanks for the idea.
Hi Billie – There isn’t cornstarch in this recipe. Do you mean cornmeal?
Nowhere have I read “Do not use natural casing hot dogs”. My recommendation is don’t. The batter does not stay on the dog. Not sure why, but I have a theory.
It is possible to bake them instead of frying? It would be even more healty?
Hi Alenka – I’ve never tried that so I’m not certain what the outcome would be.
My daughter eats one every day and they are getting costly. Cant wait to try theze. Thanks.
You can’t beat homemade! Enjoy!
You can roll the hotdog in corn starch and Pat off excess that will hold the batter on and not leave a taste.
I couldn’t get the batter to stay on the hot dogs. Any suggestions?
Hi Melanie – Did you thoroughly dry off the hot dogs with paper towels before dipping them into the batter?
Where can you find lollypop sticks?
Hi Joyce! They can be found at almost all major grocery stores (or craft stores) and will likely be located in the baking aisle.
How do I make mustard sauce to enjoy the delicious corndogs
Looks good
What is the substitute for yellow cornmeal?
Hi Sid! The cornmeal is the key ingredient that gives the corn dogs their flavor and texture so unfortunately I cannot suggest a substitute.
These look great. How do they freeze for reheat later?
Hi Tammie – I’ve never tried freezing the corn dogs so I can’t say with certainty the results but my guess is that they may get soggy when you reheat them. Let me know if you give it a shot!
Can you freeze these in advance and then reheat them?
Hi there! You could freeze them after frying them but they may get soggy when you reheat them.
I will try it my son loves hot dogs
Can is use a honey cornbread box mix with this recipe
Hi Terri! I’ve never tried this method with cornbread mix so I’m not sure if that would work. Let me know if you give it a shot!
Can I use only flour and not cornmeal?
Hi Margaret – Cornmeal is the key ingredient that gives the corn dogs their flavor and texture so you’ll definitely want to use it.
Can you use non-dairy milk like coconut, soy or almond?
Yes, any of those should work!
I used the full length hot dog. They turned out quite tasty. Next time I plan to cut them in halves. Also, I’m curious how you got the coating so even. Mine looked like little monsters.
So glad you enjoyed the recipe, Kerry! Did you use a tall glass filled with the batter to dip the hot dogs? That is the easiest way I’ve found to coat the hot dogs.
THANK YOU
Hi,
I tried your recipe with Italian Sausage and my guess all wanted the recipe. Thank You Mmmm.
Awesome! So glad you enjoyed the recipe, Pete!
Can these be frozen and reheated for a quick snack later?
Hi Dawn! I’ve never tried freezing the corn dogs so I can’t say with certainty how they’d be. Definitely let me know if you give it a shot!
I just made these for dinner so yummmmmyyy. .but one iusse not enoug suger and milk it came out to thick..and when i deep fry it they stuck hard but they was all gone tho my family loved them…it was very good turned out thank you
So glad you enjoyed the recipe, Alisba!
Will try corn dogs, hope I do well at it.
Let me know how they turn out, Mel!
Can I substitute buttermilk for the milk, and would it be the same measurement?
Hi Elizabeth! Yes, the same amount of buttermilk can be used as a substitution.
Hi, I doubled up on the ingredients but some of my large party didn’t want any (FOOLS!). How can I save the batter, will it freeze or is it to be disposed off?
Hi Peter! I’ve never tried freezing or storing the batter so I’m not certain how the results would be if you used it later. Let me know if you give it a shot!
So i just made them i followed the recipe and it just doesnt taste right and my batter was so thick and sticky was it supposed to be help!!
How do I access the full recipe. Corndogs are my weakness
Hi there, Frank! If you’re viewing the site on a mobile device, click TAP HERE TO READ THE FULL POST to view the recipe.
When I make corndogs I cut my hotdogs in thirds…mix 2 cups of complete pancake mix with one can of rootbeer soda and then deep fry them. So yummy!
Where did you come up with this recipe? How unique! I would’ve never thought to mix root beer with pancake batter for corn dogs…
Oh my. I made these tonight for my family and nieces and nephews who were overnighting as a little bedtime snack. They were quick, easy and most of all yummy. They were a hit and disappeared so fast that I didn’t get to take a pic. I rolled the hot dogs in cornstarch after drying and before dipping. I also added 1 tbsp of sugar (I always liked mine a little sweeter). We served it with a little homemade thousand island dip…these were just great. We didn’t even need the dip. Soft and fluffy. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Absolutely delicious. The best corndog ever
I tried making these tonight. Tasted good. But I couldn’t get the batter to stay on the whole hot dog no matter how dry it was.
Maybe your batter was too runny, when that happens to me I grab it by the stick n I keep dipping n rolling until I have enough batter on it then as quick as possible add to oil n like in 2 seconds I start rolling it in the oil so the batter can even out as it starts frying.
Hi . Im jewish and its forbidden for me to eat dairy & meat ,so i was wondering if i can substitute the milke for maby coconut milk ? Or somthing else ?
That should work, Jenny! The flavor might be a bit different but it’s worth a shot!
jenny im also jewish and yes you can subsitute.
Just made this. We have never eaten corndogs before (not beeing american) so have nothing to campare with. Also for dietary reasons (we eat kosher) had to substiture milk with water. The end result was delicious. There were some burnt tongues in the house, as no-one would wait for the corndogs to cool down! Fried left-over batter in big dollops, lovely!
If I don’t have any type of sticks, I cut the hot dogs into smaller pieces, and they become bite size! No stick needed!
Can you find polenta? Instant or quick-cooking polenta will be finer milled, which is what you’re after. Either way, it will be grainier than regular corn meal, so you’ll want to soak it in the milk for a few hours before making the batter so that it can soften first.
I use Jiffy cornbread mix use cocktail winners. But I stick the dogs in corn starch before putting it in the cornbread mix. I just go the directions on the box
I have to say thanks for the recipe. It was so easy and delicious. My 8yr old and I had fun making them together.
So glad you both enjoyed the recipe, Roxann!
Gluten free corn meal is super easy to find my mother in law as sister in law are gluten intolerant, so I’ve learned a few things. The brand we like best is Shawnee Best Yellow Corn Meal. All corn no wheat
Thanks for sharing, Lauren!
Kelly these are so good, the only change I made was that I used Little Smokes instead if hot dogs and added a bit more sugar and they were a total hit, my husband even likes them :-)
Thank you for this
So glad you enjoyed the recipe!
Have a Gluten Free one?
Hi there! I’m not certain of any gluten-free substitutes.
Hey there, what kind of lollipop sticks did you use? The picture looks as if they are plastic ones, which I have, but I’m concerned about putting plastic in hot oil. Can you please specify?
Hi Nikita! These are the cardboard lollipop sticks. I definitely wouldn’t use the plastic ones, as they may melt. Hope that helps!
Can u just use jiffy corn bread mix?
Hi Sue! I’ve never tried this method with cornbread mix so I’m not sure if that would work.
I will try these ,looks great the children would love them.
Thank you,
Enjoy, Bibi!
These will be great for my two’s and three’s I take care of, the big corny does are to big and they don’t always finish it.
..awww this is just awesome! Thanks for sharing! Im gunna try this tomorrow! Happy Holidays Kelly! ????????
Does white cornmeal work instead of yellows???
Hi Grace – I’ve never tried this recipe with white cornmeal so I’m not sure!
Tried them .turned out out great. I did have to add more milk though.
Hi can I use self raising flour instead f all purpose flour? And also can I use cornflour instead of cornmeal?
Hi there! I’ve never tried this recipe with self-rising flour so I’m not sure.
You could try polenta flour Yudithya.We don’t get cornmeal in the UK either but it’s the samer stuff by another name.
…and we just made these as a trial. They are going to make great party food for the kids (and adults) very soon!
Thanks!
If June comes back, please tell her that in Thailand, Villa, Makro, and Tesco all have both baking soda and baking powder in their baking sections–near the flour, Crisco, chocolate chips, etc, AND the packages are labeled in English. Other places like Foodland, Big C, Robinsons may have them but I’m sure of the 3 I mentioned.
I am making these for the first time. I would like to use Jiffy corn muffin mix will that work? someone else asked that question and there was no answer.
Hi Priscilla – I have never tried making this recipe with corn muffin mix so I’m not certain what the result would be.
Is baking powder and baking soda the same? Can i use baking soda? I live in thailand im not sure we have baking powder or not
Hi June! No, it’s not the same thing and I’ve never tried this recipe with baking soda so I’m not sure if that would work.
So sad here in Chile we don’t have/know the cornmeal ingredient. I will try with ‘semolina’ and ‘polenta’ until I find cornmeal. And I’m so into these bad boys!! So wanna try them! Thanks for the best recipe i’ve found on the internet.
Love from Chile, Santiago :*
Montse
Can it be made few days in advance and refrigerated?
Can I use Polenta?
Hello! These are best enjoyed right after making them, and you’ll want to use cornmeal.
Thank you, making these on the weekend! Hope they go well
Do I need to use fine cornmeal or coarse cornmeal? Or polenta? Thanks
Fine cornmeal!
Good corn dogs. I cut them in half and all I had was tooth picks. But it works. Will make these again. Thanks I did add water at the last part it got a little too thick.
So glad you enjoyed the recipe, Sheila!
This is the best corn dogs recipes ever !!!!
Super big thanks for the recipe..
????????
So glad you enjoyed the recipe!
Hi! Can you freeze these?
Hi Helena! I’ve never tried freezing the corn dogs so I can’t say with certainty how they’d be. Let me know if you give it a shot!
Cornmeal is in the baking section. Look on a higher shelf or ask, it’s.there.
I made these and they were delicious !
Awesome! So glad you enjoyed the recipe!
Can Jiffy corn muffin mix be used as a substitute for the cornmeal?
Like this idea. Like also healthier foods as well.
Where can I get yellow cornmeal? Thank you
Hi Michelle – It’s in the baking aisle of all major supermarkets. Look near the flour and baking mixes. Enjoy!
Please send more recipes
Do I use selfrising or plain yellow cornmeal ? I would like to make these July 4th week ! will have my grand daughters & they love corn dogs ! I use the frozen ones have never tried to make my own but these look delicious & easy to make ! Thank’s
Hi Peggy! You’ll want to use regular cornmeal. Enjoy!
Can I replace the cornmeal with something? I could not find it in my baking ingredient store. Thanks
Hi there! The cornmeal is the key ingredient that gives the corn dogs their flavor and texture so unfortunately I cannot suggest a substitute.
Wow! Those are some perfect looking corn dogs, great job! These definitely look like the perfect 4th of July treat :)
Happy Blogging!
