Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup yellow cornmeal
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 large egg
  • ¾ cup whole milk
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • About 20 mini hot dogs or cocktail frankfurters
  • Wooden toothpicks or mini skewers
  • ¼ cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • A pinch of black pepper

Instructions

  1. Pat the mini hot dogs dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. Skewer each hot dog with a toothpick or mini skewer for easy dipping and frying. Set aside.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together yellow cornmeal, all-purpose flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt until well combined.
  3. In a separate bowl, beat the egg with whole milk and vegetable oil until smooth.
  4. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and whisk just until combined. The batter should be thick but drip slowly off the spoon. Avoid overmixing.
  5. Pour about 2 inches of vegetable oil into a deep frying pan or pot and heat to 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer for accuracy.
  6. Dip each skewered hot dog into the batter, letting excess drip off, then carefully place into the hot oil. Fry in batches of 4-5 bites, turning occasionally, for about 2-3 minutes until golden and crisp.
  7. Use a slotted spoon to remove bites and place on paper towels or a wire rack to drain excess oil. Let rest for a minute or two to firm up.
  8. While frying, whisk together mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, honey, lemon juice, and black pepper in a small bowl. Chill until ready to serve.
  9. Arrange the crispy mini corn dog bites on a platter with the honey mustard dip on the side. Serve warm.

Notes

Maintain oil temperature at 350°F for best crispiness. Pat hot dogs dry before battering to help batter stick. Fry in small batches to avoid temperature drops. Drain on wire rack to prevent sogginess. Batter can be made up to an hour ahead and stored in fridge. For a lighter version, air fry at 375°F for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway.
