UPDATE on October 30, 2008:

Click here for the recipe of real corn dogs.

The proper name is corndog. You can buy them frozen in boxes or you can make your own. They are also sold freshly cooked in parks, amusement centers, malls and supermarket lobbies mostly in small stalls. A favorite with kids, it is basically hotdog dipped in pancake batter then deep-fried until golden brown.

Hotdog on a toothpick

So, why do I call it hotdog on a toothpick. When you buy this snack, frozen or freshly cooked, it is a regular sized hotdog threaded on a bamboo skewer. To cook it that way, you need a deep fryer and so much cooking oil to make sure that the whole batter-dipped hotdog is submerged in hot oil. I do not have a deep fryer or any similar utensil deep enough to hold the whole hotdog. So, I cut each hotdog into thirds, insert a toothpick in each portion, dip them in pancake batter then deep-fry them. It’s the same thing but smaller.

To make this snack, make sure that the hotdogs have thawed completely. Otherwise, the bread will cook while the hotdog may still be cold at the center.

    Hey there! Thanks for sharing this recipe…but can you please tell me how to make the batter coat the dogs completely (and thickly)? I’ve resorted to using Purefoods Cocktail Hotdogs for this recipe, but still can’t get it perfectly. Can I coat the dogs first with flour? Please help. Thanks! (My son loves these, btw.)

    It’s me,
    Terri
