Stampede is in full swing and one of the best things about it is all the great food. From the mini donuts to the crazy concoctions and let’s not forget the corn dogs, there is so much deliciousness to be enjoyed. If you don’t make it to the grounds or just don’t get your fill, you can make corn dogs at home with little effort. The best part about making them yourself is you get to choose the type of dogs that you prefer – beef, pork, chicken, veggie – the choice is all yours. The batter comes together easily with flour and cornmeal, a little sugar for sweetness and some baking powder to make the coating fluffy. An egg and milk for the batter to come together and it’s as simple as that. Pour the batter into a glass to get an even coating all over the hot dog.

You can make the hot dogs whole but I prefer cutting them in half and making them mini corn dogs.
