Ingredients

• 8 pieces hot dogs
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 cup yellow cornmeal
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 1 large egg
• 1 cup milk
• 4 cups vegetable oil
• 16 pieces mini skewers or toothpicks

Directions

Step 1

Cut each hot dog in half crosswise, creating 16 smaller pieces. Insert a mini skewer or toothpick into each piece.

Step 2

In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, yellow cornmeal, baking powder, salt, and granulated sugar.

Step 3

In a separate smaller bowl, beat the egg and pour in the milk. Stir to combine well.

Step 4

Gradually add the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. The batter should be thick enough to coat the hot dogs but smooth enough to stick.

Step 5

Heat the vegetable oil in a large, deep pot to 350°F (175°C). It's important to maintain a steady temperature to ensure even cooking.

Step 6

Dip each hot dog piece into the batter, completely coating it. Use a spoon if needed to ensure even coverage.

Step 7

Carefully place the coated hot dogs into the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry until golden brown and crisp, about 3-4 minutes per batch, turning occasionally to cook evenly.

Step 8

Remove the mini corn dogs with a slotted spoon and drain on a plate lined with paper towels.

Step 9

Serve the mini corn dogs warm with your favorite dipping sauces such as ketchup or mustard.
