Ingredients

• 8 pieces Hot dogs
• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 1 cup Yellow cornmeal
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1 large Egg
• 1 cup Milk
• 4 cups Vegetable oil (for frying)
• 8 pieces Wooden skewers
• 0.25 cup All-purpose flour (for dredging)

Directions

Step 1

Heat vegetable oil in a deep, heavy-bottomed pot or fryer to 350°F (175°C).

Step 2

Insert wooden skewers into the hot dogs, leaving enough skewer at the bottom to hold.

Step 3

Lightly dredge each hot dog in the 0.25 cup of all-purpose flour to help the batter stick. Shake off any excess flour.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 1 cup of all-purpose flour, cornmeal, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.

Step 5

In a separate bowl, beat the egg and whisk in the milk.

Step 6

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until the batter is smooth and free of lumps.

Step 7

Pour the batter into a tall glass or a similar tall container to make dipping the hot dogs easier.

Step 8

Dip each floured hot dog into the batter, ensuring it is completely coated, then carefully lower it into the hot oil.

Step 9

Fry 2 to 3 hot dogs at a time, turning occasionally, until the batter is golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 10

Remove the hot dogs using a slotted spoon and drain on a plate lined with paper towels.

Step 11

Serve immediately with ketchup, mustard, or your favorite dipping sauces!
