Homemade Corn Dogs Recipe
Last Updated on February 7, 2026 by Barbara
What’s better than a hotdog? A hotdog on a stick coated in a delicious corn batter. The combination of a crispy cornbread batter and the hot dog inside is so tasty. The cornbread batter is sweet and crunchy, while the hot dog is salty and savory. The contrast of flavors is what makes corn dogs fun to eat. I love them with fries whether they be waffle fries or curly fries and a large glass of lemonade.
