I felt like I was a kid again at the fair. These were great. I don't get to the fair a lot anymore, because the location in our stats, but now I can have corn dogs, and fell like a kid again....thanks...

I patted the dogs dry before placing them in the mixture but it still fell off the hot dog during frying. I tried coating in flour first then the corn meal mixture and it worked better.

when I wrote this recipe it was to cut up the hot dogs into thirds. My deep fryer is too small to put sticks into the dogs. I guess they can change directions.

These were yummy. I didn't have any cornmeal simply because I don't think they sell it in Australia because I can't seem to find it anywhere! I just used plain flour in its place and added a teaspoon of chicken bouillon, sprinkle of seasoning salt instead of normal salt. I used a tall glass to dip the dogs. Rolling them in flour before dipping made the batter stick well. I took out the basket in my deep fryer and just used tongs to roll the dogs around. It's better if the oil can get very hot as to bubble around the dog. My two kids loved these and ate them in record time!

They are great and cook up quick. I don't think I'll buy corn dogs again.

This was a great recipe. Was perfect for family movie night and the kids and hubby were asking when we were having it again before they were even done! One suggestion though. Dust the hot dogs in flour before battering them so the batter doesn't fall off, grease splattered everywhere with the first one but after i used flour no more problems.

This was a yummy batter. My grandson ate them up. Light on the inside, crunchy on the outside. I made the Lazy Baked Macaroni and Cheese and it was a perfect dinner.

Pretty tasty. I added a little paprika and onion powder as suggested by a previous reviewer, plus I cut the salt down by half. I used only about 2 tablespoons of sugar. I DID use the bacon drippings (I keep bacon grease in a plastic container in the fridge, and I refill it whenever I cook bacon! It's awesome for cooking eggs, pancakes, french toast, potatoes.. Just about anything!). I mixed all the ingredients in a 4-cup measuring cup. Instead of using sticks, I chopped the dogs in half lengthwise, dusted them lightly with flour, dropped two at a time in the batter, and fished them out with a fork. Let the excess drip off, dropped 'em in the deep fryer, and they were done in 3 or 4 minutes. Thanks, Roby, they were fun and tasty, and I just stuck the leftover batter in the fridge to use today!

I truly feel like the odd ball on this one. They came out great and were easy to make but the flavor wasn't what I was looking for....something was missing and I can't put my finger on it. The family all loved them so I am giving them 4 stars but my quest for the perfect corn dog will continue.

We wanted something fun, fried, and quintessentially American to be the star of our 4th of July feast, and these really fit the bill. We used veggie dogs and omitted the bacon drippings, and made sure the dogs were at room temperature before dusting with corn starch and dipping in the batter. Pulling them out of the batter with a twisting motion worked beautifully to keep the batter on the dog. As soon as I put one in the deep fryer, my husband dove in with tongs and pulled them up from the bottom of the fryer by the stick so they wouldn't adhere to the fryer basket. We drained these on a rack over a paper towel lined pan, and kept them warm in a 200 degree oven until all were finished. We ate these with traditional yellow mustard slathered on with a brush, just like they did it at the local corn dog stand when I was a child. Hot, diggedy, corn dogs! These are just the BEST.

These turned out really well. I've tried a few other corn dog batters and this was by far the best. I left out the bacon drippings and it didn't seem to matter since they were great.

I love this recipe. I had to make additional batter, about 2 1/2 times the original amount (we like a good coating). I also dipped the raw hot dog in flour before dipping it into the batter, which I also put in a tall cup. Great recipe.

I had been searching for a homemade recipe and found this!! Took the advice on using a tall glass to dip in!! Great tip! I also tried cutting the hot dogs in half for a bite sized treat! Also, I had the oven on a low 200 F to keep the dogs warm until served...

OH MY THERE IS NOT WORDS TO TELL HOW GOOD THESE ARE. THEY TASTE BETTER THAN ANY I HAVE EVER BOUGHT. WE DID NOT HAVE PLAIN FLOUR BUT I USED SELF RISING FLOUR AND JUST LEFT OUT THE BAKING POWDER AND SALT AND SOME HOW I FORGOT THE BACON FAT BUT THEY WERE STILL THE BEST. WILL KEEP THIS ONE AND MAKE ALOT. THANKS ROBY

These were okay. Not the easiest thing to make if you're not using a fry daddy. I fried them in a skillet so they ended up being rectangular shaped. I could have done without all the grease. Other than that, the taste was very close to county fair corndogs. Doubt I will ever make them again. It is easier to buy frozen corn dogs. Less mess, less grease- even if you fry them, and the taste is about the same.

Fantastic!!!! Even my picky kids loved these, and honestly they are just as good if not better than corndogs from the fair! Pouring the batter in a glass was an excellent idea. I used shish-kabob skewers then cut the pointy edge off and broke in half and they worked perfect. Part way through the recipe, I realized I didn't have any buttermilk, so I used 1 Cup whole milk and added 1 Tbsp butter, and they seemed to turn out just fine. the only thing I would do different would be to take the basket out of my deep fryer and just use it regular because the batter stuck to a couple. Thanks for an awesome recipe!!!
