No Fail Corn Dogs/ Cornbread Pancakes
This post may contain affiliate links. Read our disclosure policy.
I have made two different homemade corn dog recipes before and have loved them both. However, I recently came across a recipe from The Pioneer Woman that used pancake mix to make the batter. I decided to give these no fail corn dogs a try. The results was an easy no fail batter. It was the easiest version I have made by far.
All you need to make the batter is some pancake mix, corn meal, egg, and water. Just whisk together and it’s ready to dip those hot dogs in. Then fry in oil that’s 350 degrees in temperature.
The one thing about this no fail corn dogs recipe though is it makes a ton. It is enough to feed a crowd or use the leftover batter to make pancakes with. I did make pancakes with my leftover batter and served them up with butter and syrup. They would work for a savory meal topped with barbecue meat and coleslaw or top them just like a tostada with re-fried beans, meat etc.
