They are very easy and fun to make. ## Nutritional Information Each serving of yoguis contains approximately 450 kcal, 12 g of protein, 25 g of total fat (8 g of saturated fat), 40 mg of cholesterol, 40 g of carbohydrates (5 g of sugars), and 900 mg of sodium.

Push each sausage onto a skewer and dip it in the waffle batter, turning gently until completely coated. If using a waffle iron, lay the coated sausages in it and cook until golden and crisp, about 5 to 7 minutes depending on the iron, then lift out carefully onto paper towels. ![Hot dog sausages for the waffle dogs](https://www.chileanfoodrecipes.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/sliced-hot-dog-sausages-salchipapas.jpg)*Hot dog sausages* 1. Without a waffle iron, fry the yoguis in a large pan with vegetable oil at 150 C (302 F) until golden. Serve right away, on their own or with mayonnaise, mustard, and ketchup. ## Additional Tips ### Dry the sausages Pat the sausages dry with paper towels before skewering and dipping. It helps the batter stick. ### Use a tall glass Pour the batter into a tall, narrow glass so you can dip each sausage in one go for an even coating. ### Fry at a low temperature If frying, keep the oil around 150 C so the batter cooks through and crisps before it browns too much. | Original ingredient | Substitute | Ratio | Flavor note | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Waffle iron | Frying at 150 C | Same result | No waffle pattern | | Pork sausages | Turkey or vegetarian sausages | 1:1 | Lighter | | Whole milk | Buttermilk | 1:1 | Tangier, fluffier | | Sugar | Omit | Optional | Savory batter | ## Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) ### 1. What is the difference between a waffle dog and a corn dog? They are similar, but the batter differs. A waffle dog, or yogui, uses a soft waffle or pancake batter, while a corn dog uses a cornmeal batter, which is denser and tastes of corn. ### 2. Why fry them at a low temperature? At about 150 C the batter cooks through and turns crisp before the outside browns too much. Hotter oil can burn the outside and leave the inside raw. ### 3. How do I know the batter has the right consistency? It should be creamy and medium thick. Too thin and it drips off the sausage; too thick and the yogui is heavy. Add a spoonful of flour if it is too runny. ### 4. Can I make them without a waffle iron? Yes. Fry them in a large pan with vegetable oil. They will not have the waffle pattern, but the flavor and fun stay the same. ## What Are Yoguis? In Chile, yoguis are sausages on sticks cooked in waffle batter, a popular snack at fairs, food trucks, and children’s parties. They are a local cousin of the American corn dog. ## Waffle Batter Waffle batter is similar to pancake batter but a little thicker. Waffles have roots in medieval European cooking and became especially associated with Belgium. ## Did You Know? Yoguis are a favorite at Chilean food fairs, often sold alongside churros and salchipapas, and dipped in the same sauces as a completo. ## Recommended - [Homemade Salchipapas Recipe](https://www.chileanfoodrecipes.com/homemade-salchipapas-fries-and-sausages-recipe/) - [Chilean Completo Recipe](https://www.chileanfoodrecipes.com/chilean-completo-hot-dog-with-sauerkraut-recipe/) - [Chilean Gorda Completa Recipe](https://www.chileanfoodrecipes.com/chilean-gorda-completa-thick-sausage-sandwich-recipe/) - [Chilean Berlines Recipe](https://www.chileanfoodrecipes.com/chilean-berlines-rellenos-filled-doughnuts-recipe/)
