Looking for a corn dog recipe that taste like you get a the fair. I have tried many but they are not sweet. I have just tried added suger to a recipe, if to much it blows the batter right of the dog. Yes I roll them in flour or cornstarch first. Please help. Thank You.

I used to work in a small dairy dip several years ago and we made fresh corndogs in there about once a month and put them in the freezer.
I will try to remember the recipe for them for you.
I can't seem to remember exactly but the ingredients are evaporated milk, plain flour, cornmeal, and sugar.I wish I could remember the amounts of each, but it was for a huge batch of them.

That recipe sounds like the way my BIL makes them exactly. The tall glass works great.

Just a followup on the corndog recipe...I tried them last nite and they were AWESOME! (I did tweak it just a bit) We usually don't eat fried foods at home but last nite I went all out and had corndogs, onion rings and cheesy french fries (the fries were baked though) -It was kinda nice having a "Fair Food" dinner nite (without the expense) YUM-O

thanks Amber for bringing the recipe to our attention, here are the recipes if anyone is interested:

Indiana Style Corn Dogs

Ingredients:
1/2 cup yellow cornmeal
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons sugar
1 cup evaporated milk
1 egg, beaten
1/4 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
Dash of pepper
10 hot dogs
10 skewers
corn starch for dusting
vegetable oil for deep frying

DIRECTIONS
In bowl, mix cornmeal, flour, baking powder, salt, sugar, milk, egg, paprika, mustard and pepper. Pour mixture into tall glass. Dry off hot dogs and dust with corn starch. Skewer hot dogs with wooden skewers; dip in mixture. Deep-fry at 375 degrees F until golden brown (about 2 minutes). Drain on paper towels.

Deep Fried Onion Rings

Ingredients
1 quart vegetable oil for frying
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup beer
1 pinch seasoned salt
1 pinch ground black pepper
4 onions, peeled and sliced into rings
DIRECTIONS
In a large, deep skillet, heat oil to 365 degrees F (180 degrees C).
In a medium bowl, combine flour, beer, salt, and pepper. Mix until smooth. Dredge onion slices in the batter, until evenly coated. Deep fry in the hot oil until golden brown. Drain on paper towels.

Heavy, heavy meal, but man it was good going down! The good news is none of us wanted dessert afterwards!

Oh, I almost forgot, here is the funnel cake recipe.... (not recommended when having the above dinner LOL, but they're good when you can't make it to the fair!)

Funnel Cakes

Ingredients
3 eggs
2 cups milk
1/4 cup white sugar
3 2/3 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 Tbsp baking powder
1 tsp vanilla
1 tsp cinnamon (opt)
1 tsp fresh nutmeg (opt)

DIRECTIONS
In a medium bowl, mix salt, baking powder, and half of the flour. Set aside.
In a large bowl, cream eggs, sugar and milk. Add flour mixture and beat until smooth. Continue to add remaining flour, but use only enough to achieve desired consistency. Batter will be thin enough to run through a funnel.
In an eight inch skillet, heat the oil to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
Put your finger over the bottom opening of the funnel, and fill the funnel with a generous 1/2 cup of the batter. Hold the funnel close to the surface of the oil, and release the batter into the oil while making a circular motion. Fry until golden brown. Use tongs and wide spatula to turn the cake over carefully. Fry the second side one minute. Drain on paper towels, and sprinkle with sifted confectioners' sugar or cinnamon sugar.

Just a side note:
When I made these I actually took some advice and put a large zip lock baggie in a measuring cup, filled it with the batter, zipped it closed, then cut off a corner to squeeze the batter into the oil. Then set the bag in the cup with cut corner up in between batches. (this was much easier than the funnel method, I thought. Alternatively, you could use a pastry bag. I also made one batch with the spices and one batch without...the family verdict was divided
