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.
Watch the video below where we will walk you through every step of the recipe with a video demonstration.
I have made these 3 times now. The first was to try the recipe. The second was because my wife requested them as part of her birthday dinner. The third time was for my son who loves corn dogs from a box. We ate some when I made them but I made about 12 extra to freeze so he could see if he liked them. Well I am making the last two at my granddaughters request. 375 for 22 minutes seems to get them heated up and crispy straight from the freezer into the oven. Fantastic recipe. I am unsure if it is working but I am attempting to give this 5 stars!
My previous phone wouldn’t let me rate this recipe.
Real great recipe, but I added 2 table spoons of honey and it was absolutely perfect!!
Would like to know where you got the digital thermometer in your clip.
I use the Thermoworks Thermapen and highly recommend any of their products.
I am going to try these tonight….. Will let you know tomorrow….. They sound so yummy…..
My husband loves fried cheese sticks that are battered same as corn dogs. We get them in Malls or sometimes at a fair. Would I be able to substitute a cheese stick for the hot dog in the recipe?
Yes you can! (and it’s delicious!)
From experience let me tell you to freeze the cheese first. Keeps it from seeping out everywhere.
There is absolutely no honey in this recipe…. How can you call it “Honey Dipped Corn Dogs”?
It’s called a HAND dipped corn dog.
Sounds so good going to try this Saturday for my nieces
It looks like your hot dogs in the video are pre-cooked..is this right? I could never get the batter to stick to the dogs but I am going to try this I LOVE CORN DOGS.
They are just hot dogs straight from the package.
Just make sure the hot dogs are dry
Try mixing it can of cream corn into the batter makes it even better
Tried these tonight and they were very good. My 7 year old daughter loved them and she is s super picky eater!
