Pronto Pup

Pronto Pup is a brand of deep‑fried cornmeal‑battered hot dogs on a stick, similar to the corn dog, used by restaurants and street‑vendors across the United States. Named for the speed of the cooking process, the Pronto Pup was invented in Rockaway Beach, Oregon, and is marketed as “the original corn dog”.

Pronto Pup batter is described as less sweet than standard cornbread batters.

Today the Pronto Pup brand refers both to the original batter mix manufactured by The Pronto Pup Company of Portland, Oregon, and to the network of independent stands and franchises that use this mix and brand name.
