Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup yellow cornmeal
- 2 tablespoons baking powder

- 8 hot dogs

How to Make Cheesy Corn Dog Roll
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cornmeal, baking powder, salt, and sugar until well combined.
- Add the milk and eggs to the dry ingredients and stir until a smooth batter forms.
- Fold in the shredded cheddar cheese until evenly distributed in the batter.
- Heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil in a deep pot or fryer over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
- While the oil is heating, insert a skewer or wooden stick into each hot dog, leaving enough of the stick exposed for easy handling.
- Dip each hot dog into the batter, ensuring it is fully coated.
- Carefully place the battered hot dogs into the hot oil, frying a few at a time to avoid overcrowding. Fry until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes, turning occasionally for even cooking.
- Use a slotted spoon to remove the corn dog rolls from the oil and transfer them to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
- Serve warm with mustard or ketchup for dipping.
Tips for the Best Results
- Make sure the oil is at the right temperature for frying; too cool and the rolls will be greasy, too hot and they may burn.
- For an extra cheesy flavor, try mixing different types of cheese into the batter.
- If you prefer a spicier kick, consider adding a pinch of cayenne pepper to the batter.
Easy Variations
- Substitute the cheddar cheese with pepper jack for a spicy twist.
- Use mini hot dogs for bite-sized snacks that are perfect for parties.
- Add chopped jalapeños or diced onions to the batter for added flavor and texture.
What to Serve With It
- Crispy potato wedges or fries
- Fresh vegetable sticks with ranch dressing
- A light salad to balance out the richness
- Popcorn for a fun snack mix
