Unlike American corn dogs, Korean corn dogs (called hot dogs in Korea) use a wheat or mochi (rice flour) batter in place of cornmeal, resulting in a chewier texture.

History. Corn dogs were first introduced by German Texans in the 1920s. The corn dog was first made as just a sausage rolled in cornbread battered and fried. Many years later, sticks were added to corn dogs as a unique food-holding tool that would later create the modern corn dog.

In Minnesota, Pronto Pups and corn dogs have been pitted against each other for at least half a century — and their supporters are resolute in the distinction between the two. Stalwarts say the difference is clear: Pups are made with pancake batter and corn dogs use cornbread batter.
