How to Make A Plus Fair Corn Dogs

1. Heat vegetable oil to 365°F (185°C) in a large, deep fryer or heavy-bottomed pot. Use a thermometer to monitor the oil temperature.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
3. Stir in the melted bacon drippings.
4. Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients. Add the egg, buttermilk, and baking soda to the well.
5. Gently whisk the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined. Do not overmix.
6. Pat the hot dogs dry with paper towels to help the batter adhere.
7. Insert a wooden stick into each hot dog.
8. Dip each hot dog into the batter, ensuring it's fully coated. Gently shake off any excess batter.
9. Carefully place a few corn dogs at a time into the hot oil. Fry for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Avoid overcrowding the fryer.
10. Remove the corn dogs from the oil and place them on a wire rack or paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
11. Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious homemade fair corn dogs!
