I tried a couple of recipes that use pancake batter. They taste
pretty good. I also picked out ones that don't use egg.

I have a hard time getting the batter to stick.

Are you sure those things are legal?

I once did a corndog. From West Virginia. He wasn't have bad. *baBOOM*

Seriously? I have never eaten a corn dog. I am a hot dog purist. I take my
pig snouts and nitrites straight, thank you!

A hot dog in pancake batter is not a corndog.

I usually only eat corndogs at the state fair or a good carnival where
they're made by professionals that know what they're doing. Plus that
limits my annual corndog consumption.

Pronto Pups rule!

Roll 'em in cornstarch before you dip 'em.

Exactly. The batter has to have cornmeal in it. I'd likely roll them
in flour or something before dipping them in batter. Some recipes say
use corn starch instead of flour. I found one recipe that calls for 6
C. of pancake flour mix and 1 C. of cornmeal - not good enough, IMO.
Here's one that looks o.k.:

Corn Dogs

INGREDIENTS:
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup yellow cornmeal
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
3 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 teaspoons chili powder
2 eggs
1 cup milk
1/4 cup vegetable oil
oil or shortening for deep frying
1 pound hot dogs, about 8 - 10
wooden skewers, popsicle sticks

PREPARATION:
In a mixing bowl, combine dry ingredients. Separately, beat the eggs
with milk and the 1/4 cup of oil. Stir egg and milk mixture into dry
ingredients and whisk together until batter is smooth.

Heat oil to 360°. Insert a wooden skewer or popsicle stick into each
hot dog. Dip in the batter. Fry corn dogs in several small batches, for
about 3 to 5 minutes, or until golden brown. Drain on paper towels.
Serve with mustard or ketchup for dipping.

NOOOO. Bisquick and hotdogs. And cheese. You have to slit the hot dogs and
put cheese in them.

That's how we always made them in our trailer.

You still have it wrong - it's not Bisquick, it's bazooka biscuits
(biscuits in a can), cheese and hotdogs. You use the crescent roll
biscuits.

I recall one year at the county fair, all but one vendor was trying to
foist off an all corn starch dip on the public, no doubt a cost
cutting venture. It was essentially the same kind of batter dip one
get on Chinese prawns and and totally sucked. This effort to corrupt
the classic corn dog lasted about 2 yrs then disappeared forever,
thankfully.

Lose the chili powder and it looks good. One tip: make sure your
baking powder is fresh. Old baking powder don't get it in deep fry.

Bingo! One of my early cooking efforts at about the age of 7-8. I
think the recipe was even in my kid's Betty Crocker cookbook.

The "corn" in "corndog" refers to the coating around the hotdog, which
traditionally should be cornbread batter -- made with cornmeal, of
course!
