Fry up these classic Mini Corn Dogs! This quick 25-minute recipe features savory hot dogs in a crisp golden batter, perfect for a fun snack or party appetizer.
Cut each hot dog in half. Insert a lollipop stick or skewer into the cut end and pat the hot dogs dry with paper towels.
In a bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, garlic powder, and onion powder. In another bowl, whisk the egg and milk. Stir the wet ingredients into the dry until just combined.
Pour vegetable oil into a heavy pot to a depth of about 4 inches. Heat the oil to 360°F using a kitchen thermometer.
Dip each hot dog into the batter to coat fully, letting excess batter drip off. Fry in small batches for about 3 minutes until golden brown. Remove and drain on paper towels, then serve hot with your preferred dipping sauce.
