Making Air Fryer Corn Dogs is a fun and easy process. Follow these steps for perfect results:

1. Preheat the Air Fryer: Start by preheating your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes.
2. Prepare Skewers: Insert a wooden skewer into each hot dog, leaving enough space for a handle.
3. Make the Batter: In a large bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, flour, baking powder, sugar, salt, and black pepper.
4. Add Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix the milk and egg. Add this mixture to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix; lumps are okay.
5. Coat the Hot Dogs: Dip each hot dog into the batter, ensuring they are fully coated.
6. Spray the Basket: Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray or brush with a little oil to prevent sticking.
7. Arrange Corn Dogs: Place the batter-coated hot dogs in the air fryer basket. Do not overcrowd; cook in batches if necessary.
8. Air Fry: Cook the corn dogs in the preheated air fryer for 10-12 minutes, turning them halfway through for even cooking. They should be golden brown and crispy.
9. Cool Slightly: Remove the corn dogs from the air fryer and allow them to cool for a couple of minutes before serving.

These steps will ensure that your Air Fryer Corn Dogs turn out perfect every time!
