Begin making your cheese corn dogs by first preparing the better. We recommend using a box of cornbread mix to make your batter. Prepare the boxed cornbread mix according to the instructions on the package. Once prepared, set it aside in a mixing bowl until you are ready to use.
Next, it’s time to prepare your skewers. You can either add an entire cheese stick on one skewer. Or our favorite way to do it is to take a cheese stick, cut it into two pieces, and a the cut the hotdog into three pieces.
Add first the end piece of the hotdog onto the skewer followed by cheese, followed by hot dog followed by another cheese, followed by the final hot dog. When your skewers are assembled, it’s time to coat them.
Before dipping your skewers into the batter, you will first want to take a large pan, filled partway with deep frying oil, all you need is oil deep enough to cook your cheese corn dogs. Place the pan over medium heat and allow the oil to warm. Use a thermometer to monitor the temperature. You want to maintain a temperature of 350°F to 375°F.
When your oil is almost warm, dip your skewers into the prepared cornbread batter. After it has been coated completely and cornbread mixture, use tongs and place the skewer into your warmed oil.
As your cheese corn dogs are frying in the oil, keep a close eye on the temperature to maintain it between 350°F and 375°F. After one side of your cheese corndog becomes a golden brown color, turn it over and deep fry the other side until it is also a golden brown color.
Once cooked, remove it from the oil, and place it on to a paper towel lined plate. Allow the access oil to drop off, then serve and enjoy!
