Cheesy Corn Dog Bites
These Cheesy Corn Dog Bites are golden, crispy, and bursting with cheesy, savory flavor in every bite. Perfect for parties, game day, or fun family dinners, they’re everything you love about corn dogs in a poppable, shareable form.
Ingredients
- 4 hot dogs cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup cornmeal
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk
- 1 large egg beaten
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- vegetable oil for frying
Instructions
- Heat the vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, beat the egg and then mix in the milk.
- Combine the wet and dry ingredients, stirring until just combined.
- Fold in the shredded cheddar cheese.
- Pat the hot dog pieces dry with a paper towel to ensure the batter sticks.
- Dip each hot dog piece into the batter, ensuring it is fully coated.
- Carefully place the coated hot dog pieces into the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding.
- Fry until golden brown and crispy, about 3–4 minutes.
- Remove the bites from the oil and drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
- Serve warm with your choice of dipping sauces.
Notes
For a spicy kick, add a teaspoon of cayenne pepper or a few dashes of hot sauce to the batter. Try swapping in pepper jack or mozzarella for different flavor twists. Want to skip the frying? Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 15–20 minutes until golden. For gluten-free, use a GF flour blend in place of all-purpose.
