Ingredients
- 12 small hot dog sausages
- 12 15cm wood skewers
- oil for deep frying I used lard
Corn Dog Batter
- 3 tbsp whey protein isolate powder
- ½ tsp xanthan gum or guar gum
- 3 tbsp blanched almond flour
- ¼ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp baking powder
- ¼ tsp garlic powder
- 1 egg
- 1 tbsp sparkling water
Dairy Free Corn Dog Batter
- 3 tbsp egg white powder
- ½ tsp xanthan gum or guar gum
- 3 tbsp almond flour
- ¼ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp baking powder
- ¼ tsp garlic powder
- 1 egg
- 2 tbsp sparkling water
Instructions
- Pierce the wood skewers into your sausages all the way to the tip.
- Heat the oil in a pot at 140C-150C/285F-300F.
- In a bowl, add all of the dry ingredients for the corn dogs and whisk together. Crack the egg in and drizzle in the sparkling water.
- Whisk the batter really good, especially for the dairy free version as the egg whites tend to clump together and create flour bumps. When the batter is nice and smooth, dip one sausage at a time and roll the skewer with your fingers so that the batter coats the sausage everywhere evenly.
- I suggest frying 1-2 corn dogs at a time and not more.
- Add the corn dog into the hot oil to fry. It should only take 30 seconds per side to cook. When you add the corn dog inside the oil, even if you flip them over to cook on the other side, they won't stay and flip back over. So you need to hold them still with tongs so that both sides can cook evenly. This is why I suggest only frying 2 at a time maximum.
- When both sides are nice and crispy and golden brown, take them out of the oil and let them cool down on a wire rack. Repeat for the rest of your sausages and your corn dogs are ready!
- They reheat well in the microwave, but since they are deep-fried they obviously taste better the same day.

Notes
If you use hot dog sausages, you won't need to precook them. But if you use raw meat fresh sausages, you'll have to precook the sausages before deep frying them in the corn dog batter.
The nutritional information is only for the corn dog batter. I made 12 mini corn dogs so the info is for the batter of one corn dog without the sausage. It does not include the sausages as depending on the brand you use, the nutritional info will be different.
