These homemade corn dogs are so easy to make, They are freezer friendly and you can make this easy corn dogs recipe with the kids! Make a big batch!
If you are tired of buying frozen corn dogs and looking for an easy corn dogs recipe - look no further!
My children absolutely love corn dogs. I mean seriously love them. When we have homemade corn dogs in the freezer, they know that it is an easy lunch that they can make on their own (they just stick them in the microwave for a minute). I have had many an argument with my oldest over the number of corn dogs that he can eat at one sitting. Granted, he is a 12-year-old boy and his appetite is increasing exponentially, but I have to draw the line at no more than 2 corn dogs for any meal!
We had been buying pre-made corn dogs for years, but now that we have this easy corn dogs recipe, we won't be buying them any longer. These are so easy to make, the kids love them and they freeze beautifully! I can even get my children involved in making them and they really love helping. Sure - I'm not yet ready for them to be cooking with boiling oil, but they can help with everything else - and they love being able to make one of their favorite meals!)
You can make these with full-size hot dogs, but I prefer to cut the hot dogs in half and make "half dogs". By doing it this way, I have ready appetizers as well as portion-controlled meals. My oldest may eat all 4 "halves", my middle child will eat 3 "halves" and my daughter will eat 2 "halves. It cuts down on wasted food!
These can easily be frozen after you have fried them! Just wait until they have cooled completely (seriously - make sure they are room temperature or else they will get completely soggy) and store in a freezer bag. To re-heat, simply pull out as many as you need and either bake them at 350F until heated through or put them in the microwave for a minute.

Equipment
Ingredients
- 10 Hot Dogs
- 1 cup Flour
- 1 cup Cornmeal
- ¼ teaspoon Salt
- ¼ cup Sugar
- 3 teaspoon Baking Powder
- 1 Egg
- 1 cup Milk
- 1 quart Vegetable Oil for frying
- 16 Wooden Skewers
Instructions
Mix together cornmeal, flour, salt, sugar and baking powder.
Add in eggs and milk and mix until blended.
Transfer mixture to tall glass or mason jar.
Preheat oil in a saucepan over medium heat until oil reaches 360F
Cut hot dogs in half.
Insert skewers into hot dog halves and dip in batter until well coated. Rotate to allow excess to drip off.
Fry corn dogs one or two at a time until lightly browned.
Remove corn dogs from oil and drain on paper towels.
Serve with ketchup and mustard for dipping
Notes
If you have a deep-fat fryer, you can also use that, but you will still want to skewer the hot dogs and hold the skewers in the fryer as they are cooking (if you drop them in the basket, they will stick)
These freeze beautifully!

do you fry the sticks in the oil too? I have never fried anything so nervous to start a fire frying a wooden skewer
Mindi Cherry
yep! Go ahead and fry them with the sticks inserted.
Just DON'T soak the skewers in water first like you would if you were making shish-ke-bobs on the grill. THAT would cause a fire!

Can you freeze he corn dogs after frying them and letting them cool?
Thanks NicoleMindi Cherry
Absolutely! I do it all the time! They are easily reheated in the microwave or the oven.
