The Ingredients
Here’s what you’ll need to make Homemade Corn Dogs (the exact measurements and full recipe instructions are below in the easy to print recipe card):
- All-purpose flour
- Yellow cornmeal – you’ll find this ingredient in the baking aisle right by the flour.
- Baking powder
- Baking soda
- Salt
- Granulated sugar
- Egg
- Honey
- Buttermilk – if you don’t have buttermilk on hand it is fine to use regular milk.
- Hotdogs – for the best corndogs, use really good hotdogs.
- Popsicle sticks or wooden kebab skewers – we used 4-inch round skewers that can be found on Amazon. Be sure they’re meant for food use.
- Oil for frying – you can use vegetable, canola, or peanut oil. We generally go with vegetable oil.
How to Make Corn Dogs
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, cornmeal, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar. Add the egg, honey, and buttermilk and stir just until combined.
Cover and chill the batter for 10 minutes. While the batter chills, heat 4 inches of oil in a large pot to 350F degrees so it is ready to fry the corndogs.
Pat the hotdogs dry with a paper towel, then insert the sticks halfway into the hotdogs.
Pour the cornbread batter into a tall glass. I like to use a tall wide-mouth glass jar. This makes it really easy to dip and coat the hotdogs in the batter.
Dip one hot dog into the batter until it’s completely coated.
Gently lower the dipped hotdog into the hot oil. Cook the corndog for 3-4 minutes or until golden brown.
Remove the corndog from the hot oil and place on paper towels to cool. Repeat the process with the remaining hot dogs and batter.
What to Serve with Homemade Corn Dogs
Serve the corndogs warm with the dipping sauces and side dishes of your choice. Here are some ideas:
- Ketchup
- Mustard

How to Store Leftovers
Keep the leftover corndogs in an airtight food storage container or a zip-top bag. Refrigerate for up to three days. Reheat the corndogs in the microwave in 20 second cooking intervals until warm.
