Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 1 cup cornmeal, 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1 tbsp baking powder, 2 tbsp granulated sugar, and 1/2 tsp salt until combined.
  2. Step 2: In a separate bowl, beat 1 cup milk with 1 large egg until smooth.
  3. Step 3: Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined; the batter should be thick but smooth.
  4. Step 4: Heat 4 cups vegetable oil in a deep pot or fryer to 350°F using a thermometer for accuracy.
  5. Step 5: Pat dry 12 mini hot dogs with paper towels, then insert wooden skewers or toothpicks lengthwise into each.
  6. Step 6: Dip each hot dog into the batter, coating completely, and carefully lower into the hot oil. Fry in batches for 3-4 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown and crisp.
  7. Step 7: Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
  8. Step 8: For the honey mustard dip, whisk together 1/4 cup yellow mustard, 2 tbsp honey, and 2 tbsp mayonnaise in a small bowl until smooth.
  9. Step 9: Serve the mini corn dogs warm alongside the honey mustard sauce for dipping.
