    3. Whisk until no lumps remain.

    If the batter is too thin, it will slide off the sausages rather than coat them, so a slightly thick consistency is ideal.

    4. Insert skewers into the sausages, and have the batter and breadcrumbs ready.

    5. Dust the sausages with flour, coat evenly with batter, roll in breadcrumbs, and deep-fry.

    If you want plumper corn dogs, coat with batter, fry once, then dip in batter again and roll in breadcrumbs to double-coat before frying.

    6. Fry on both sides until golden brown over medium heat.

    (Because these are made with vienna sausages, you can fry them in a small amount of oil.)

FAQ

Can I use pancake mix instead for the batter?

If you have pancake mix, you can easily make the batter by mixing it with just milk and an egg instead of the other dry ingredients.

How can I make the corn dogs thicker and plumper?

Coat the sausages in batter and fry them once, then dip them in batter again, roll in breadcrumbs, and fry a second time to make them plump.

What consistency should the batter be?

If the batter is too thin, it will slide right off the sausages instead of clinging to them, so whisk it until it has a slightly thick consistency.
