American corn dogs
A classic American corn dog uses a cornmeal-containing batter around a hot dog, fried until browned. Mustard is a common accompaniment.
Korean-style dogs
Korean-style battered dogs may use yeasted or thicker batter, cheese, sausage-and-cheese combinations, potato cubes, crumbs or other coatings.
Frying structure
- Dry the filling so batter adheres.
- Avoid crowding.
- Maintain the recipe’s oil temperature.
- Drain on a rack.
- Let hot cheese cool briefly before biting.
Party service
Battered dogs are best in small fresh batches. Hold them loosely vented to protect crispness.
