Ingredients

• 8 pieces Vegetarian hot dogs
• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 1 cup Yellow cornmeal
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon Baking powder
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 cup Milk
• 1 unit Large egg
• 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
• 4 cups Vegetable oil (for frying)
• 8 pieces Wooden skewers

Directions

Step 1

Begin by soaking the wooden skewers in water for 15 minutes to prevent burning.

Step 2

Insert a wooden skewer into each vegetarian hot dog, leaving enough length for a comfortable handle. Pat the hot dogs dry with a paper towel.

Step 3

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

Step 4

In another bowl, mix the milk, egg, and 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until smooth.

Step 5

Pour the vegetable oil for frying into a large, deep pot or deep fryer and heat it to 350°F (175°C).

Step 6

Transfer the corn dog batter to a tall glass for easier dipping.

Step 7

Dip each skewered hot dog into the batter, ensuring it’s fully coated, and immediately place it into the hot oil.

Step 8

Fry the corn dogs in batches, turning them occasionally, until they're golden brown on all sides, about 3 to 5 minutes.

Step 9

Remove the corn dogs from the oil and drain on a wire rack or paper towel-lined plate.

Step 10

Serve warm with your favorite condiments like ketchup or mustard.
