Recipe Tips
- You can make mini-corn dogs that are great for parties or platters. To do this just cut the hot dogs into thirds or quarters and use toothpicks instead of the skewers.
- A great way to easily coat the hot dogs is to fill a drinking glass with the batter and then merely dip the hot dogs into the glass.
- If you scale down the recipe, you may need to use a half an egg, so make sure you use half an egg and not put a full one into the mixture. Otherwise, your mix will be runny and very hard to use.
- You can adjust this corn dog batter recipe to make it more to your liking. Adding mustard powder and other spice and herbs can significantly change the overall taste of the corn dog hot dog.
- If you plan on baking these in the oven, you should make note that these will not come out as well as the batter may slide off of the dog.
