My oldest son recently discovered corn dogs at Disneyland. I considered it a fun treat for him to have. Problem is, he wanted two and then when we got home, he wanted more! I decided to make my own and made them healthier by baking it. I also chose no nitrate hot dogs and organic corn bread mix.
Furthermore, did you know corn dogs are choking hazards? By cutting it thinly or in small pieces, you can make it safer. There is a way to cut it (lengthwise), that you can easily google.
Hope you enjoy this recipe. Remember if you don't have a donut pan, you can always make corn dog muffins. Also, for those of you not wanting to buy box cornbread mix (recipe below homemade mix), here's a homemade recipe.
