Two corn dogs on sticks, covered with swirls of ketchup and mustard, placed on wax paper next to a bowl of mustard.

Bring the fair to your backyard with this classic corn dog recipe. If you don’t want to worry about making burgers or steaks for afternoon guests, then corn dogs are a great option for lighter fare that will still be satisfying. Most of the ingredients are simple pantry ingredients, like cornmeal, flour, sugar, and baking powder. All you need is a deep fryer and a little bit of time for some simple preparation before you start frying. Make sure to serve the corn dogs hot, before the cornmeal crust has started to get soggy.
