These crispy golden corn dogs are stuffed with smoky bacon, melty cheddar cheese, and juicy hot dogs, all wrapped in a fluffy cornmeal batter and deep-fried to perfection. A bold, indulgent take on the classic fairground snack.

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 6 hot dogs
  • 6 slices cooked bacon, crumbled
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 1/2 cups cornmeal
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
  • Oil for frying (vegetable or canola)

Instructions

  1. Slice each hot dog lengthwise without cutting all the way through. Fill with shredded cheddar cheese and crumbled bacon, then press gently to seal.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, egg, and yellow mustard.
  4. Combine the wet and dry ingredients to make a thick, smooth batter.
  5. Insert skewers or wooden sticks into each stuffed hot dog.
  6. Dip each hot dog into the batter, coating completely. Let excess batter drip off.
  7. Heat oil in a deep fryer or heavy-bottomed pot to 350°F (175°C).
  8. Fry the corn dogs in batches for 3–4 minutes, turning as needed, until golden brown and crispy.
  9. Remove and drain on paper towels.
  10. Serve hot with ketchup and mustard for dipping.

Notes

  • Use thick, sturdy skewers or popsicle sticks for easier handling and dipping.
  • Ensure oil maintains 350°F for even frying and crisp texture.
  • Serve immediately for the best texture—these are crispiest fresh from the fryer.
  • Try different cheese blends or add diced jalapeños for variation.
