My family loves corn dogs, but I don’t always love the mess you get deep frying them. However, I have yet to find a good way to make them without frying that was until these waffled corn dogs.

The trick to making a good corn dog minus the deep frying is a waffle maker. It makes the batter nice and crisp. The other tricks you need to know is you need to slice the hot dogs in half to make this work and you need a Belgian style waffle maker to make the deep pockets needed to get the hot dog nicely encased in the corn batter.

This waffled corn dogs method is healthier and quicker with less mess! You can then cut the waffles in half and dip them in ketchup or mustard. Or just leave each waffle full and top with chili, cheese, sour cream, and green onion.

• In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, garlic powder, and chili powder.
• Make a well in the center and then add in the buttermilk, eggs, and melted butter. Whisk until just combined.
• Preheat a square Belgian waffle iron. Spread a very thin layer of batter onto the bottom of the waffle iron. Lay two pieces of hot dog on on each waffle square. Then top each with a bit more batter, just enough to cover the hot dogs. Make sure not to over fill the waffle iron. Close loosely and allow the waffles to cook. Cut each waffle in half to make easy to dip and serve with mustard or ketchup or leave them whole and top them with chili, cheese, sour cream, green onion.
