These Hand Dipped Corn Dogs are covered with a thick cornbread coating and fried to golden brown perfection. It’s just like they make them on Main Street at Disneyland’s Little Red Wagon.
There’s just nothing like a freshly fried hand dipped corn dog. This corn dog recipe replicates the recipe used at Disneyland, where corn dogs are a favorite past time. A simple corn bread batter is used to coat hot dogs and they are then fried to golden brown perfection. They are easy to make and can easily be frozen and reheated later.
What kind of hot dogs should I use?
We recommend using a high quality hot dog for the best results. Looking for the words “all beef” on the packaging generally indicates a higher quality hot dog. Choose a hot dog that you like. You can make corn dogs using any shape of hot dog as well so you can choose long and skinny, or the short and fat kind. It’s all about your personal taste preferences.
Buttermilk:
Don’t have buttermilk? It’s easy to make your own buttermilk substitute! You’ll just need regular milk and a little bit of vinegar or lemon juice. Or try one of our other buttermilk substitute options.
Where can I buy popsicle sticks or craft sticks?
You can find popsicle or craft sticks in the craft section at major superstores like Walmart or Target. They can also often be found in grocery stores near the section where they sell other food related items like toothpicks and straws.
Freezer and Reheating Instructions:
It’s super easy to freeze what you don’t eat right away. Reheat in the oven on a baking sheet at 400 degrees for about 10-12 minutes. They will crisp up and still be pretty tasty. There’s nothing quite like fresh, but homemade frozen corn dogs are way better than store bought.

I Agee with another reviewer. Instead of cornstarch I would’ve suggested flour so the batter would stick to the hotdog better. Either would work. I am going to try these. I like the thicker batter and you use less oil then some other recipes I see.
what brand dogs are the best match to DL dogs??
thanks
Any all beef hot dog like Applegate or Hebrew National
Sams club all beef dogs best price to me
What’s the anme of the corn meal you ised? The are so many to chose from.
Yellow Corn Meal from Quaker
Rachel, how do you think they would turn out using gluten free flour? I’m Celiac an d and t stay wheat anymore. I’d try these apps like a pancake on a stick with sausage and fry them up. Like the Great Value brand at Walmart
Let me e know your thoughts on trying this
Gluten free flour usually can’t be substituted straight in baking, but this isn’t baking so it may possible work.
If your in Canada…i use the PC brand all purpose flour..AMAZING for deep frying!!
If you use corn meal like the directions say, they are gluten free.
Try Cup4Cup gluten free flour. Thai’s what we have to use when baking. Two of us are gluten intolerant.
Hi what is corn flour is there another name
Corn meal is ground corn. When it is very finely ground it is called corn flour. When it has been soaked in an alkaline solution it is called masa and the kind that you can boil is polenta.
I made these for the family tonight. ….. they loved them!!!!
So glad you guys liked them! Thanks for taking the time to come back and comment!
I am excited to try your corn dog recipe! I have collected several to date. My family loves “Sonics Drive In Corn Dogs. So much so, we make an excuse to go almost every week. Tuesda is Corn Dog Day and they are 50 cents each. We get them for snacks. They have a sweet honey-like taste and the crunch is just right. I have a couple of tips for you. 1. I soak the sticks in warm water a couple hours prior to using. Prevents them from burning. 2. Roll the dog in a small plate of cornstarch, Lightly tap on edge of plate to shake off excess. This is an important step as it helps the batter attach to the dog. 3. I too poor batter in to a tall Tupperware tumbler, about2/3rds full. I submerge the dog and pull straight up. Holding dog over the cup. I let it drip a bit and then into oil. It helps create a more uniform coating. I hope this helps your followers. I will make some this weekend, as this is Tuesday, already had some! LOL
Suggestion….put the prepared batter into a tall glass — makes it easier to "dip" the dog.
Good idea!
Great idea! Thanks for sharing.
I use wooden chop sticks from Chinese takeout. These work the best if you don't have the time to go to a craftstore for popsicle sticks.
Hey that’s a really good idea lol!!! Smart thinking you!
I made these and they are awesome. I accidentally put in 3 tsp of baking powder and ended up making 15 corndogs with one batch. I will make this again, probably many times.
