Ingredients

  • 4 hot dogs
  • 3/4 cup yellow cornmeal
  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup buttermilk
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 ½ cups bread crumbs
  • cooking spray

Instructions

  • Whisk together cornmeal, flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, and salt in a mixing bowl.
  • In another bowl, whisk together buttermilk and eggs.
  • Add the buttermilk and egg mixture into the dry ingredients. Mix to combine.
  • Transfer the batter to a tall glass and leave enough room to dip the hot dog without overflowing.
  • Add the breadcrumbs to a separate bowl and set aside.
  • Cut the hot dogs and the skewers into halves. Skewer the mini hot dogs onto wooden sticks.
  • Roll the hot dogs in flour to coat, and shake off the excess.
  • Dip the floured hot dogs into the batter and then cover the battered hot dogs with breadcrumbs.
  • Spray cooking spray on the hot dogs, and then place them in the basket in one layer. Make sure not to overcrowd your air fryer. Cook in batches if necessary.
  • Set the temperature to 375ºF, and set the time to 8 minutes.
  • After 4 minutes, take out the basket and flip the corn dogs.
  • Return the basket to the air fryer. After 2 more minutes, check every 1 minute until heated through. Serve and enjoy!
