Homemade Honey Batter Corndogs
If you’re a fan of the fresh made county fair corn dogs, then this recipe is for you! Homemade Honey Batter Corndogs are surprisingly easy to make and for some reason it’s one of those foods that people are always surprised you made from scratch instead of baking from frozen. Not that there’s anything wrong with a frozen corndog, of course! But once you have the real deal homemade corndog, there’s just no going back.
Ingredients to Make Corn Dogs
Here are the ingredients you’ll need to make the corndogs (please see the easy-to-print recipe card at the end of this article for the ingredient lost and instructions to follow):
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup yellow cornmeal
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 egg
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 8 hot dogs
- 8 wood kebab skewers (be sure the sticks are not too long or the corndogs will not fit into your pot when you fry them)
- Vegetable oil for deep frying
The Best Hot Dogs to Use for Corndogs
In this case, I used Oscar-Mayer Classic Wieners. They were great, but my all-time favorite is Nathan’s Hot Dogs. In any case, use a really good hot dog that you would enjoy eating normally.
How to Make Homemade Honey Batter Corndogs
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, salt, and baking soda.
Add the egg, honey, and buttermilk and stir until all combined.
Cover the bowl and chill the batter for 15 minutes. Stir well after chilling.
Pat the surface of the hotdogs dry with a paper towel, then insert the sticks halfway into the hotdogs.

Heat 4 inches of oil in a large pot to 350F degrees. Pour the cornbread batter into a tall glass. Dip one hot dog into the batter until it’s completely coated in batter, then gently lower the corndog into the hot oil.
Cook the corndog for about 3 minutes or until golden brown. Remove and place on paper towels to cool and drain off excess oil. Repeat the process with the remaining hot dogs and batter.
The Best Dip for Corndogs
Truly, the best dip for these classic corndogs is the dip you like! Any combinations you enjoy are great. Here are some ideas:
- Ketchup
- Classic yellow mustard
- Hot sauce
- Honey mustard
- Cheese sauce
- Fry sauce
- BBQ sauce
How to Reheat Corndogs
- Air frying is a great way to reheat the corndogs. Just air fry at 350F for 3 minutes, or until heated through.
- Baking is another good way to reheat corndogs. Bake at 350F until hot.
