How to Make A Plus Fair Corn Dogs
- 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.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- Stir in the melted bacon drippings.
- Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients. Add the egg, buttermilk, and baking soda to the well.
- Gently whisk the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Pat the hot dogs dry with paper towels to help the batter adhere.
- Insert a wooden stick into each hot dog.
- Dip each hot dog into the batter, ensuring it's fully coated. Gently shake off any excess batter.
- 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.
- Remove the corn dogs from the oil and place them on a wire rack or paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious homemade fair corn dogs!
