Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 4 hot dogs (or mozzarella sticks)
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 egg
- 3/4 cup milk
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1/2 cup diced potatoes (optional)
- Oil for frying
For Serving
- Ketchup
- Mustard
Instructions
- Prepare the Hot Dogs: Insert skewers into each hot dog or mozzarella stick, then pat them dry with paper towels to ensure the batter sticks properly.
- Make the Batter: In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, egg, and milk. Whisk until you achieve a thick, smooth batter consistency perfect for coating.
- Coat the Hot Dogs: Dip each skewered hot dog thoroughly into the batter, making sure it is evenly coated with no thin spots.
- Add Crunchy Toppings: Roll the batter-coated hot dogs in panko breadcrumbs or diced potatoes for that extra crispy texture on the outside.
- Heat the Oil: Preheat oil in a deep fryer or deep skillet to about 350°F (175°C) to ensure even frying without burning.
- Deep Fry: Carefully place the coated corn dogs into the hot oil and fry them until they turn golden brown and crispy, approximately 3 to 4 minutes.
- Drain and Serve: Remove the corn dogs from the oil using tongs and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve warm with ketchup and mustard.
Notes
- Chill coated corn dogs briefly before frying to help maintain their shape during frying.
- For a stretchy cheese filling, insert cheese inside the hot dog before battering and frying.
- Dust with sugar after frying for an authentic Korean street food flavor twist.
