These Hand Dipped Corn Dogs are covered with a thick cornbread coating and fried to golden brown perfection. Itโs just like they make them on Main Street at Disneylandโs 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.

Amazing!! Taste just like disneyland
This recipe was really good! Ended up making two nights in a row because the Fam loved them!
This was EXACTLY as I remember the corn dogs at Disneyland tasting!!!
I used Safeway select all beef jumbo dogs. They were perfect. The crust has a perfectly crunchy layer with a puffy, sweet middle. Very, very good! Thank you for posting this!
I love the corndogs they bring old memories for me when I was a child great memories thank you so much Chef for the memories and for sharing the recipe with us. Thank you for your time you spend sharing with us.
These are SO. FREAKING. YUMMY. They were easy to make too, this recipe is perfect for mom life. I did not have buttermilk on hand so I made my own (1 generously poured T of Vinegar added to the 1 1/4 c milk). I didn’t have skewers, so I just use a fork to spear the dogs and dip them, then used a spoon to push them off the fork into the hot oil. My young child ate 2 1/2 corn dogs, couldn’t get enough!
I found I needed about half a cup more buttermilk as the batter was so think and I added some honey like others did. I used mini cocktail whiners that I hadn’t used for entertaining and my kids absolutely loved them!!!
They are delicious! Congratulations! I love all your recepies! You are great!
If anyone is still around I’m wondering if maple syrup could be subbed for the sugar? I love corn dogs but refuse to eat frozen due to ingredients so I’m totally pleased to get this recipe. Will try this weekend but I’ve cooked for a lifetime so I can tell from recipe that these will be good. I will try half dipped in cornstarch and the other half in flour before dipping in batter.
Wish the recipe would’ve come out better. It ended up not sticking to my dogs very well. You would see patches and be a little runnier than ai though it would turn out. Upon eating it the whole coat would sometimes come off. Disappointed.
First time making a corn dogs and they were delicious. My mom used to make them all the time. Great recipe
