Corn dogs are a classic fast food that originated in the United States, where they are known as "corn dogs." This delight consists of a sausage coated in a batter made primarily from cornmeal and then deep-fried until a crispy texture is achieved. In Latin America, although they don't have a single name, similar variants are enjoyed in countries like Mexico, where they are also called "banderillas" or "pambazos" in some regions, and in Argentina, where they are occasionally called "panchos con masa." Their popularity lies in the fact that they are easy to prepare and very practical to serve at fairs, parties, or as a street snack.
The use of cornmeal for the coating not only provides a characteristic flavor but also offers a different texture from the typical wheat flour batter, making them crispier and with a delicious toasted aroma. This combination of ingredients is ideal for those looking to give a traditional touch to this popular snack and enjoy it with different types of sausages or toppings.
