Recipe Information
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)
Instructions
Heat vegetable oil in a deep, heavy-bottomed pot or fryer to 350°F (175°C).
Insert wooden skewers into the hot dogs, leaving enough skewer at the bottom to hold.
Lightly dredge each hot dog in the 0.25 cup of all-purpose flour to help the batter stick. Shake off any excess flour.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 1 cup of all-purpose flour, cornmeal, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
In a separate bowl, beat the egg and whisk in the milk.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until the batter is smooth and free of lumps.
Pour the batter into a tall glass or a similar tall container to make dipping the hot dogs easier.
Dip each floured hot dog into the batter, ensuring it is completely coated, then carefully lower it into the hot oil.
Fry 2 to 3 hot dogs at a time, turning occasionally, until the batter is golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes.
Remove the hot dogs using a slotted spoon and drain on a plate lined with paper towels.
Serve immediately with ketchup, mustard, or your favorite dipping sauces!
