Homemade Corn Dogs or is it Corny Dogs

Light and fluffy breading with a touch of sweetness and fried up to golden brown. Skip the store-bought corn dogs and make your own with this simple recipe!  

When I think of corny dogs as my kids call them, I think of the State Fair of Texas. What is a visit to the fair without getting one of their famous corn dogs. When it comes to the fair it's all about the rides and games for the kids, but for me it's all about the yummy fair food you can only enjoy one time of the year. 

I have to say that some of the food you find at the fair is a bit far fetched for me, fried Twinkies, fried banana splits, fried cake and even fried butter one year. None of these ever appeal to me and I tend to stick to the old fashioned favorites, turkey legs, sausage on a stick, corn dogs, funnel cakes and lemonade. Now that's fair food!!!! 

My youngest son, Carson loves the corn dogs at the fair and Canton Trade Days, so that's the first thing we have to hunt down when it is time to stop for lunch. Since he loves them so much I wanted to try and recreate his favorite fair food at home. 

I saw this recipe for Homemade Corn Dogs at The Hillbilly Housewife. I thought it would be neat to surprise my son with these homemade corny dogs, plus I wanted to see if they actually turned out. Can you believe I've never made homemade corn dogs because I always thought it was difficult and time consuming.  

You can imagine my excitement when the corn dogs were done and they turned out. I couldn't believe how simple it was, plus they taste so much better than the ones you buy at the store. The true test was Carson he's so picky, but no worries he gave our corn dogs a thumbs up and so did my daughter Mackenzie. 

Any leftover corn dogs store in the freezer nicely, so you can warm them up for another day. Just add them to a large zip lock bag. When ready to reheat just defrost in the microwave and then add them to the toaster oven. Do you make any homemade connivance foods at home?
