2 tbsp granulated sugar
Chef's tip
Use the same volume. Baking behavior varies by blend: some brown faster or stay softer, while others brown less. Follow the package's baking guidance and start checking a few minutes early.
1 ½ tsp baking powder
½ tsp fine salt
1 cup buttermilk
1 large egg
1 tbsp unsalted butter, melted

For the corn dogs

24 cocktail sausages (about 14 oz), patted dry
4 cups vegetable oil, for frying

For serving

yellow mustard, for serving (optional)
ketchup, for serving (optional)

Instructions

1
Pour the vegetable oil into a large heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven to a depth of about 3 inches. Heat over medium-high heat until a deep-fry thermometer reads 375°F (190°C).
2
While the oil heats, whisk together the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl. In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, egg, and melted butter until combined. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until a smooth, thick batter forms with no dry streaks.
