For an extra crispy corn dog, consider double-dipping the hot dogs in the batter before frying. If you don't have bacon drippings on hand, melted butter can be used as a substitute, though the flavor will be slightly different. Ensure the oil temperature remains consistent throughout the frying process for even cooking. Serve with your favorite condiments such as mustard, ketchup, and relish for the perfect fair-style treat.
