This riff on classic Korean corn dogs has all the cheesy, crispy fried deliciousness of the original, using easy Pillsbury™ crescent dough sheets instead of messy batter to make a fun and delicious dinner on a stick.

Ingredients

Steps

  • 1
    In deep fryer or 5-quart Dutch oven, heat 3 to 4 inches oil to 325°F over medium-high heat. Unroll 1 can of dough on work surface. Reshape into 12x8-inch rectangle. Cut dough in half lengthwise, then in half crosswise. Repeat with second can of dough.
  • 2
    Insert 1 stick in one halved hot dog, then through one halved cheese stick. Repeat with remaining hot dogs and cheese.
  • 3
    Place 1 hot dog and cheese stick on short end of each rectangle. Roll up dough around each, leaving stick exposed; pinch edge to seal. Pinch ends of dough to enclose.
  • 4
    Place bread crumbs in shallow dish or pie plate. Roll each crescent dog in the bread crumbs, pressing to adhere.
  • 5
    Fry in batches in hot oil 6 to 8 minutes or until deep golden brown on all sides and fully cooked inside, turning as necessary. Drain; immediately sprinkle on all sides with sugar. Drizzle with mustard, ketchup and mayonnaise.

Tips from the Pillsbury Kitchens

  • tip 1
    Place condiments in separate resealable food-storage plastic bags; seal and snip the ends for perfect drizzling, or opt for squeeze bottles of condiments.
  • tip 2
    The crescent dough sheet is a better pick for this recipe than regular crescent rolls since there are fewer seams to seal. Take your time sealing the seams of the dough around the hot dog and cheese. If it’s not properly sealed, the cheese could melt and escape into the hot oil.
  • tip 3
    Try out other types of condiments, like hot sauces and even gochujang, which is also often available in a squeeze bottle.
  • tip 4
    Recipe can be easily halved for a smaller batch.
