Instructions

How to make Corn Dogs with Honey Mustard Dip:

Prepare the hotdogs first by cutting shallow slits on the sides. Skewer each with bamboo sticks and coat with flour. Set aside.
In a bowl, put the flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, egg and milk. Mix all the ingredients using a whisk until it turns in to a smooth batter and all the lumps are gone.
Heat cooking oil in a deep pan deep enough to deep fry the corn dogs.
To coat the hotdogs with batter easier, get a tall glass and pour the batter into it. Dip each hotdogs in the glass until the batter is well coated. Fry the corn dogs until golden brown and crispy. Remove from the pan and transfer to a paper towel to remove excess oil.
Make the dipping sauce by combining honey, mustard and mayonnaise in a small bowl. Mix until it smooth. Serve with the corndogs as dipping sauce.

Notes

Cooking Tips:

Ensure the Batter Sticks Perfectly

For a smooth and even coating, dust the hotdogs lightly with flour before dipping them into the batter. This helps the batter adhere better and prevents it from sliding off during frying. Using a tall glass to dip the hotdogs ensures an even, mess-free coating.

Maintain the Right Oil Temperature

The ideal frying temperature is 350°F (175°C) to achieve a crispy, golden crust without burning the batter. If the oil is too hot, the outside will cook too quickly while the inside remains doughy. If too cold, the coating will absorb excess oil and turn soggy instead of crispy.

Use Cornmeal for Extra Crunch

Cornmeal adds a distinctive crispy texture that sets it apart from regular battered hotdogs. If cornmeal isn’t available, finely crushed unsweetened cornflakes can work as a great substitute. This small addition enhances the crunch and prevents the coating from becoming too soft after frying.
