Cut the hot dogs in half and do the same with the mozzarella sticks so you have eight pieces of each.
Insert a wooden skewer halfway into each hot dog half and follow with a mozzarella stick half, forming a skewer with hot dog and mozzarella per skewer.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
Add milk and egg to the dry ingredients. Stir until a thick, smooth batter forms. The batter should be thick enough to coat the back of a spoon.
Pour the batter into a tall cup or glass to make it easier to dip the skewers.
Place panko breadcrumbs and optional corn meal in a shallow dish and mix well.
Preheat vegetable oil in a deep-fryer or large deep pot to 350°F (175°C). Ensure you have enough oil to fully submerge the corn dogs.
One by one, dip each skewer into the batter, ensuring the batter fully coats the hot dog and mozzarella. Let excess batter drip off.
Roll the dipped skewers in the panko breadcrumb mix until completely coated. Press gently to ensure the breadcrumbs stick well.
Carefully lower each corn dog into the hot oil in batches, frying until they are golden brown and crispy, about 3-5 minutes.
Remove the corn dogs from the oil and drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
Serve hot, optionally with ketchup, mayonnaise, or mustard for dipping.
