Best Corn Dog Cake Recipes

CORN DOG CUPCAKES

Steps:

• To assemble: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and line one 12-cup standard muffin tin with paper cupcake liners.
• Cut 1 1/2 inches from both ends of the hot dogs and reserve. Finely chop the remaining middle pieces and set aside.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cornmeal, baking powder, 1 teaspoon dry mustard, salt and cayenne. In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, oil and honey until smooth. Whisk the wet ingredients into the dry, and then stir in the chopped hot dogs. Divide the batter among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters of the way full.
• Skewer the reserved hot dog tips and place in the center of the cupcakes, leaning slightly askew.
• Bake until the tops of the cupcakes are golden brown and spring back lightly when touched, about 20 minutes. Cool in the tin 10 minutes, and then transfer the cupcakes to a wire rack to cool completely.
• In a small bowl, stir together the mayonnaise, yellow mustard and remaining 1/2 teaspoon dry mustard. Pipe a squiggle of the mixture over each cupcake.

CORN DOGS

Steps:

• Whisk the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, mustard powder and 1 1/2 teaspoons salt in a large bowl. Whisk the milk, eggs and peanut oil in another bowl, then add to the cornmeal mixture and whisk until smooth. Pour the batter into a tall drinking glass, reserving any extra batter.
• Heat 3 to 4 inches peanut oil in a large, wide saucepan over medium heat until a deep-fry thermometer registers 365 degrees F. Spread some flour in a shallow dish. Thread each hot dog three-quarters of the way onto an 8-inch wooden skewer. Dredge the hot dogs in flour, tapping off the excess.
• Working in batches, dip the hot dogs into the glass of batter; let the excess drip back into the glass, then lower the hot dogs into the hot oil. Fry, turning, until golden, 4 to 5 minutes per batch. (Refill the glass with batter as needed.) Remove the corn dogs with tongs and drain on a paper towel-lined plate; season with salt.

CORN DOGS

Steps:

• Heat the oil to 350 degrees F in a Dutch oven or large saucepan over medium heat. Line a large plate or baking sheet with paper towels; set aside. Sift together the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder and 1/4 teaspoon salt into a large bowl. Add the egg, 1 3/4 cups buttermilk, the vegetable oil and honey and stir to combine. The batter should be a little thicker than pancake batter¿it should fall off a spoon but not run off it.
• Dry the hot dogs thoroughly with a paper towel. Insert a long wooden skewer into each hot dog, pushing it almost all the way through to the end. Sprinkle the cornstarch on a small plate and roll the hot dogs in the cornstarch until lightly dusted. Gently tap the hot dogs to remove the extra cornstarch.
• Pour the batter into a tall drinking glass. Holding a hot dog by the skewer, dunk the hot dog straight down into the glass of batter so that it is fully immersed. Slowly pull the hot dog back out, ensuring that it is fully coated on all sides and allowing some of the excess batter to drip back into the glass. (If the batter is not adhering to the hot dog, it is too thick. Add more buttermilk, 1 tablespoon at a time, and redip the hot dog.)
• Once coated, immediately place the battered hot dog into the oil while still holding the stick. Cook until deep golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes, turning the stick as necessary to ensure even browning. Place the cooked corn dog on the paper towels to drain. Repeat with the remaining hot dogs and batter.
