Slide a sausage onto a skewer.

Then add a mozzarella stick above it.

If you want:

“Cheese only” corn dogs → full cheese

“Sausage only” corn dogs → full sausage

Your call.

This part is weirdly fun — like building food Legos.

This step is super important.

It keeps the cheese from escaping like molten lava during frying.

I learned the hard way — my first batch literally turned into “hollow corn dogs with no cheese inside.”

So yeah… freeze it.

Take a bowl.

Add flour.

Add sugar.

Add salt.

Add baking powder.

Mix.

Now crack an egg.

Pour milk slowly.

Whisk until the batter becomes thick — not pourable like dosa batter, but not stiff like dough either.

Think… something between cake batter and bread dough.

If it’s too thin → add flour

If it’s too thick → add milk

Taste a drop (yes, people do this) — it should taste slightly sweet.

Here comes the messy-but-fun part.

Dust your skewered cheese+sausage with flour

Dip into the batter

Pull it out and let the extra drip off

Roll it in panko / crushed ramen / potatoes

Don’t stress about perfection.

Real corn dogs always look a little uneven — that’s the charm.

Heat oil on medium.

Not too hot — we’re not burning Diwali fireworks here.

Gently place the coated corn dog into the oil.

Let it fry until:

Golden

Crispy

Puffy

Don’t poke it too much. Let it chill in the oil and do its thing.

Once it’s perfectly golden, take it out and let it sit on a paper towel.

Okay, listen…

I know sugar on fried food sounds strange.

But sprinkle a little sugar over your hot corn dog… and then one bite later you’ll understand why Koreans do it.

It’s magical.

Sweet + salty + cheesy + crispy = fire combo.

Add ketchup.

Add mustard.

Add mayo.

Or make your own spicy mayo if you want to feel like a professional.

Take a bite while it’s hot — the cheese stretch will make you feel like you’re in a mukbang video.

Freeze the sticks → prevents cheese leaking

Batter must be thick → otherwise coating falls off

Sausages must be dry → water makes batter slide

Medium heat only → high heat burns outside, leaves inside raw

Panko crumbs → best crunchy texture

Crushed ramen → best fun texture

Potato cubes → most filling version

Little things matter here.
