"Make your own corn dogs just like at the fair with this rich buttermilk corn batter."

Ingredients

• A viewer suggested:
• 1 quart oil for deep frying
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 2/3 cup yellow cornmeal
• 1/4 cup white sugar
• 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons bacon drippings
• 1 egg, beaten
• 1 1/4 cups buttermilk
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 2 pounds hot dogs
• wooden sticks
• Directions
• ●Heat oil in a deep fryer to 365 degrees F (185 degrees C).
• ●In a large bowl, stir together the flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder and salt. Stir in melted bacon drippings. Make a well in the center, and pour in the egg, buttermilk, and baking soda. Mix until everything is smooth and well blended.
• ●Pat the hot dogs dry with paper towels so that the batter will stick. Insert wooden sticks into the ends. Dip the hot dogs in the batter one at a time, shaking off the excess.
• ●Deep fry a few at a time in the hot oil until they are as brown as you like them. Drain on paper towels or serve on paper plates.
• ●Dust the hot dogs in flour before battering them so the batter doesn't fall off. Grease splattered everywhere before adding flour but after I used flour no more problems.
• ●Also, put the batter in a glass to making dipping easier.
