Tips

  • Use instant dry yeast, not active dry yeast.
  • To check yeast activity, let it sit with sugar and lukewarm water until foamy.
  • Keep the batter in a warm place to rise until it doubles in volume.
  • Blanch potatoes for exactly 3 minutes for crispiness when fried.
  • Hold the cheese tightly when skewering to prevent breaking.
  • Fry corn dogs in hot oil (175 GREAT!). If oil is cold, they absorb too much oil.
  • Avoid agitating the corn dogs too much in the oil initially to prevent coating from loosening.
  • The batter can be stored in the fridge for up to 24 hours if not used immediately.
