Creating the perfect Korean Corn Dog is easier than you may think. Follow these simple steps:

1. Prepare the Hot Dogs/Cheese Sticks: If using hot dogs, cut them into halves or use full-sized ones. If using cheese sticks, ensure they are frozen for better results.

2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Stir until well blended.

3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk and egg until fully incorporated.

4. Combine Mixtures: Gradually pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until a thick batter forms. Avoid overmixing.

5. Heat the Oil: In a deep pan or fryer, heat oil to 350°F (175°C). You need enough oil for the hot dogs or cheese sticks to float.

6. Coat the Dogs: Skewer each hot dog or cheese stick with a wooden skewer. Dip them into the batter, ensuring they are fully coated.

7. Fry: Carefully place the coated hot dogs into the hot oil. Fry for about 3-4 minutes or until golden brown, turning halfway for even cooking.

8. Drain: Use a slotted spoon to remove the corn dogs from the oil and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil.

9. Serve Immediately: Allow them to cool slightly before serving.

10. Optional Toppings: Drizzle with ketchup or mustard, or sprinkle with sugar for that classic Korean street food touch.

Follow these steps closely, and you’ll have delicious Korean Corn Dogs that everyone will be raving about!
