Made famous by the Little Red Wagon food truck, these hand dipped Disneyland corn dogs are iconic for a reason. With a light, puffy breading flavored with a hint of sweetness and fried to a perfect golden brown, you'll be surprised how easy they are to make at home!
‣ 1 cup cornmeal ‣ 1 cup all-purpose flour ‣ 2 tablespoon granulated sugar ‣ 2 teaspoon baking powder ‣ 1/2 teaspoon salt ‣ 1 cup buttermilk, plus up to 1-3 tablespoon more for consistency ‣ 1 egg ‣ 2 tablespoon honey ‣ 2 quart vegetable oil, divided ‣ 10 hot dogs ‣ 10 wooden sticks
1
Make a creamy batter by mixing cornmeal, flour, baking powder, salt, buttermilk, an egg, honey, and vegetable oil.
2
Thread hot dogs on sturdy wooden sticks, leaving enough room for a handle at the bottom.
3
Dip the corn dogs in the batter, coating them all the way to the stick. I’ve found it’s easier (and way less messy) to pour the batter in a drinking glass and then dip the hot dog inside. This way you get a nice even coating of batter without getting any on your fingers.

Drop the hot dog into a large, wide skillet full of hot oil. Let the hot dogs cook until golden brown and puffy. Once ready, use some tongs to transfer the corn dogs to a paper towel-lined plate to drain and cool slightly.
