There’s nothing better than a crisp golden-brown corn dog during these hot summer days served at the state fair.
My favorite part is of course the halved hot dogs – making these guys the most perfect miniature size.
They make it just so darn easy to share and devour in seconds.
Except, now you can make this right at home with the easiest homemade batter, served with all the ketchup and mustard your heart desires.
