I used a doubled version of this recipe and made a few changes. (Soy butter milk, more flour instead of cornstarch, and 4tbsp of honey for flavor). I used 16 lightlife hot dogs(regular size) and found that I didn't need to double the recipe. I'd need at least another 16 to get through the rest of the batter so keep that in mind if you think you'll need to double the recipe. Definitely add your own seasonings and spices to the batter. Even with the added honey I found my corndogs quite plain. The batter was decently thick ( not nearly as much as the recipe photo) and has a nice crunch. Wish it was thicker but that could be due to my substitutions. Overall, if you want fast and easy corndogs, these will do but you could save the time and effort by buying some frozen ones.
