Ingredients

• 8 pieces Hot dogs
• 8 pieces Wooden skewers
• 1 cup Yellow cornmeal
• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon Baking powder
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 large Egg
• 1 cup Milk
• 6 cups Vegetable oil

Directions

Step 1

Insert one wooden skewer into each hot dog, starting at one end and pushing about three-quarters of the way through. Set aside.

Step 2

In a medium mixing bowl, combine yellow cornmeal, all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Mix well to combine the dry ingredients.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg and milk until thoroughly combined.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined to create your batter. The consistency should be thick enough to coat the hot dogs generously.

Step 5

Pour the vegetable oil into a deep fryer or large heavy pot. Heat the oil to 350°F (175°C).

Step 6

Transfer the batter into a tall glass or pitcher that will make it easy to dip each skewered hot dog.

Step 7

Dip each hot dog into the batter, ensuring it is fully coated. Allow excess batter to drip off before carefully placing it into the hot oil.

Step 8

Fry the corn dogs in batches, avoiding overcrowding the pot. Cook for about 3-5 minutes, turning occasionally, until the batter is golden brown and crisp.

Step 9

Carefully remove the corn dogs from the oil using tongs and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.

Step 10

Serve the corn dogs hot with your favorite condiments like ketchup, mustard, or relish.
