Homemade Vegan Corn Dogs
Homemade corn dogs are the perfect summer treat, and this vegan version is just as delicious as the classic. Made with a simple batter of cornmeal, flour, and plant-based milk, these corn dogs are fried until golden brown and crispy. Serve them with your favorite dipping sauce for a fun and easy meal.
Corn dogs are a classic American snack food that is typically made with a hot dog on a stick, coated in a batter of cornmeal and flour, and then deep-fried. The origins of the corn dog are unclear, but it is thought to have been invented in the early 1900s. Corn dogs became popular at carnivals and fairs, and they are now a staple of American cuisine. This vegan corn dog recipe is a healthier take on the classic. It uses plant-based milk instead of dairy milk, and it is fried in vegetable oil instead of lard. The result is a delicious and crispy corn dog that is perfect for vegans and non-vegans alike.

Prep time: 15 | Cook time: 10 | Serves: 4
Ingredients
  • 1 cup (120g) cornmeal
  • 1/2 cup (60g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup (240ml) plant-based milk
  • 1/4 cup (60ml) vegetable oil, plus more for greasing the pan
  • 1 tablespoon sugar (optional)
Instructions
  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the plant-based milk, oil, and sugar (if using).
  3. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and whisk until just combined. Do not overmix.
  4. Heat a large skillet or deep fryer to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  5. Dip each hot dog into the batter, making sure to coat it evenly.
  6. Carefully place the hot dogs in the hot oil and cook for 3-4 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
  7. Remove the corn dogs from the oil and drain them on paper towels.
  8. Serve with your favorite dipping sauce.
Why It Works
  • The combination of cornmeal and flour creates a crispy exterior that is perfectly golden brown.
  • The plant-based milk adds moisture to the batter, making the corn dogs tender and fluffy.
  • The vegetable oil helps to fry the corn dogs evenly, resulting in a crispy exterior and a juicy interior.
