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!
