Equipment

  • Wooden Chopsticks
  • Big Pan or Deep Pot

Ingredients

  • 110 grams All Purpose Flour
  • 3 grams Salt
  • 10 grams Sugar
  • 2 grams Baking Powder
  • 2 grams Instant Yeast
  • 80 grams Water
  • 1 pc Egg
  • Hotdog Sliced to 3-inch pieces
  • String Cheese Sliced to 3-inch pieces
  • Panko Breadcrumbs For the crust
  • Sugar For garnish
  • Vegetable or Canola Oil For frying

Instructions

  • In a big bowl, mix flour, sugar, salt, and baking soda. Set aside.
  • In a separate bowl, combine water and yeast, then mix until melted. Combine the dry ingredients and wet ingredients along with an egg. Mix well until it forms a sticky dough.
  • Let the dough sit at room temperature for 1 hour to rise and double in size.
  • Boil the hotdogs and slice them into 3-inch pieces. Prepare the cheese as well by slicing it into 3-inch pieces.
  • Place the cheese, hotdogs, or both on skewers according to your preference.
  • 10 minutes before you’re finished letting the dough rise, heat up some oil on a big pan or deep pot. On the side, line up the skewers, dough, and breadcrumbs.
  • To make the corn dog, place the hotdogs on the batter and do the roll and tug. Roll the skewers and once the dough is sticking to the hotdogs, tug it a bit, then roll again. Do this repeatedly until the whole skewer is covered. You can use your hands to prop the dough into sticking to the hotdogs.
  • Right after covering the corn dog in the dough, roll the skewer on the breadcrumbs to lock it in.
  • Place the skewer right into the heated oil and cook each for about 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown.
  • Right after frying, sprinkle sugar over the corn dogs so it caramelizes a bit.
  • Serve hot with ketchup or mustard, and enjoy!
