This is a family favorite as my kid and husband (and I) jump for joy over this delicious dinner! We live in Utah where fry sauce is ubiquitous and ketchup ranks second. I love dipping my corn dog and fries in fry sauce, which is a mixture of mayo, ketchup, and relish. My husband enjoys dipping his dogs in a mixture of ketchup and mustard. This easy dinner or appetizer is just SO tasty—it’s destined to be the next recipe added to your weekly dinner rotation!

Ingredients in Copycat Hot Dog on a Stick Corn Dog Recipe
Flour. All-purpose flour is needed to make the corn dog batter.

Salt. Salt enhances the flavor of the dough ingredients.
Buttermilk. Buttermilk helps create a creamy, milky texture.
Egg. Eggs provide nutrition, flavor, and help bind the dough ingredients.
Honey. Honey blends with buttermilk to produce a flavorful corn dog dough mixture.
Hot dogs. Buy high quality all-beef hot dogs for this recipe.
Canola oil. Canola oil is needed to fry the corn dogs.
What should I use for a dip?
For a dip, you can use ketchup, mustard, ranch, or a mixture of 1/3 cup ranch dressing with 1 tablespoon sriracha, which is our preferred dip with these delicious corn dogs. Use any condiment you would put on a hot dog or corn dog.
How to make the best Hot Dog on a Stick Corn Dogs
STEP 1: Combine the flour, cornmeal, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl. Make a well in the center and add the buttermilk, egg, and honey. Stir until the ingredients are incorporated.
STEP 2: Insert a wooden skewer in the center of each hot dog. Dip each hot dog in the batter, coating it all the way down the skewer—until it reaches the bottom of the hot dog. If necessary, use a knife or spoon to even out the batter, removing excess.
STEP 3: Fill a frying pan about ½-inch high with oil, and heat over high heat. When the oil is hot, add the corn dogs and fry for 1-2 minutes, turning them occasionally. Fry until golden brown on all sides. Fry them in sets until they’ve all been cooked. Let them dry on paper towels and serve warm with your favorite hot dog dipping sauce.
