I have made these twice now they came out great each time! I cut the hot dogs in half and used toothpicks for the sticks. I also did not add bacon fat as I didn't have any.

This was a fun family night dinner. They turned out pretty good. The batter was a little runny though. We dipped the hot dogs in cornstarch as suggested and that helped the batter stay on better. Very fun!

These corn dogs were wonderful I cut the hot dogs in half so they would get done quicker and be less greasy and they were amazing

We loved these! I used jumbo hot dogs and it only made just over a package per batch. My husband is a very picky eater and he absolutely loved them. I also didn't use the bacon grease and it was still awesome. I do roll the hot dogs in flour to help the batter stick and I put the batter in a big cup so that I could just dip them in it. Great!

this was an excellent recipe for corn dogs, they fried up crispy on the outside, and tender inside. Awesome!! We made some by putting cocktail sausages on a skewer, 3 at a time and they were SO darn good. Totally worth the time and effort to make these at home. I did cut the sugar by about 1/3 based on reviews, did everything else by the recipe. Excellent, thanks for this batter recipe!

YUM! Very good! I dusted my dogs with a little bit of flour and the batter stuck pretty well. Would definitely make this again. I gave this recipe 4 stars b/c I would have preferred it to be a tiny bit sweeter. Add a tad bit more sugar, and yo got yourself a fair-esque corn dog :)

My family loved these, worked perfectly. Now for the ones that the batter slid off maybe your batter was to thin for some reason. I had no problem with it, put it in a large tall glass and stuck the dog down in it and turned it around and put it in oil. No problems what so ever..

I usually buy frozen corn dogs for my children and decided to try and make them from scratch. Well, this recipe was so easy and delicious. I did eliminate the bacon drippings, used beef hotdogs cut into thirds and covered them in flour before dipping into batter. The result was wonderful. My children rated these the best corn dogs they have ever eaten. Thanks Roby!

This is an awesome recipe!! I made mini corndog nuggets by cutting bun-size hotdogs into thirds and drying them with a paper towel. I dipped the dogs into the batter with a fork and used another fork to nudge it off into the hot oil. The batter puffs way up in the oil, which I point out because it looks like there is not enough batter sticking, but it will be plenty after it cooks. My kids loved these and said they were soooo much better than the kind you buy (plus, when you make them yourself, you can use all-beef hot dogs, and the store ones use the nasty chicken/pork combination "meat"). You will not be disappointed!!

Absolutely delicious! I've been meaning to make them for a while, and finally got around to it today. They were AMAZING! The cooked batter reminds me of the crunchy part on my stepmom's Southern Cornbread! Soooooo yummy!

The corn dog nuggets I made from this recipe, following it exactly, were good but not special. They tasted just like the frozen kind except with better quality hot dogs b/c you put them in yourself. The word "fair" in the title had my hopes way up, and I was disappointed. They are nothing like the ones at the fair, atleast the ones I've been to in the South. I won't make again considering the let down and extreme greasiness.

This was fantastic!! Tasted just like the corn dogs that I used to get at the state fair! I was instantly taken back to my childhood! I also added 1 tablespoon of honey to the batter and dipped the hot dogs in flour prior to dipping them in the batter. This was GREAT!!!! I will make this many times more!

GOOD GOLLY THIS IS SO GOOD! I followed directions, except for bacon fat. I replaced with 1/4 cup of honey mustard. (I am adding more next time). This batter is so good, just skip the hot dogs and fry it by itself! YUM!!! Oh, one more thing...don't skimp on the hot dog, use good beef, I didn't and the meat was the worst part.

These were really a mess! Followed the recipe exactly as written but the batter just slid right off into the fry daddy grease. I tried drying the hot dogs.. rolling in flour.. leaving them moist.. not using flour.. using less batter.. using more batter.. lol After about 6 tries.. I salvaged the rest of the weiners by having the kiddos grill them over a campfire on sticks.. they had a blast! ;)

I don't even like hot dogs but liked this! The breading is great! My kids and husband ate them faster than I could fry them. I got 1 from a double batch!

This recipe was wonderful. Just like the fair. We used melted butter instead of bacon drippings and we used powdered buttermilk mix to make our buttermilk. We cut our hot dogs and made mini corn dogs. We also rolled our hot dogs in a bit of flour before dipping in the batter and the batter stayed on very well.
