Are corn dogs high in carbs?
Yes, corn dogs are high in carbohydrates. A single corn dog contains about 25 grams of carbs, mostly from the cornmeal, which forms the dog’s exterior coating. The interior of the dog usually contains pork, chicken, beef or other meats, along with added seasonings.
Although corn dog varieties exist, most versions contain some form of batter, which is made from cornmeal, flour, eggs, and milk. These ingredients contribute to the 25 grams of carbs in the finished product.
Depending on the size of the corn dog and its ingredients, up to 35 grams of carbs can be associated with each serving. The American Diabetes Association suggests limiting carbs to 30 to 60 grams per meal, so eating a single corn dog may exceed these limits.
What are State Fair corn dogs made of?
State Fair corn dogs are fried cornmeal batter on a stick. The batter contains cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, and seasonings (salt, pepper, garlic powder). It is then mixed with a liquid of your choice, such as water, or a mixture of buttermilk, eggs, and oil.
Then the batter is put onto a stick and deep-fried in hot oil until crispy and golden-brown. The corn dog is typically served with mustard, ketchup, relish, or other condiments.

What is a Korean corn dog?
Korean corn dogs are a traditional street food that originated in Korea in the 1980s. Called hasdogeu in Korea, or Korean cheese corn dogs, they’re made with hot dogs, fish cakes, rice cakes, or just cheese, coated in batter, deep fried, and then sprinkled with sugar and ketchup, mayo, or mustard. The batter and toppings are what sets Korean corn dogs apart from American corndogs. Traditional American corn dog recipes call for a cornmeal batter, whereas Korean corn dog batter is typically a yeasted dough, rice flour, and panko. We’ve made our gluten free Korean corn dog using a homemade batter with almond flour and skipped the panko breadcrumbs.
Traditional corn dogs are not keto friendly. Corn dogs are typically made from a cornmeal batter or a cornbread mix like Jiffy™, which is high in carbs. Even frozen corn dogs that you’ll find in the grocery store are not only 20 grams of carbs or more, but they have a high sugar content. Our keto Korean corn dogs use almond flour to keep it not only low carb, but gluten free.
