Ingredients

• 1 cup yellow cornmeal
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 1 Tablespoon baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 egg, beaten
• 1 1/2 cups buttermilk
• . (regular milk works too)
• 1 Tablespoon vegetable oil
• 1 Tablespoon honey
• 1 (10 count) package Hot Dogs
• 10 wooden skewers or chopsticks
• 2 Quarts Vegetable Oil, for frying

Preparation

Step 1

1.
In a medium or large pot, add the oil.
Turn heat to medium and heat oil to 350F.

2.
In a large bowl, add the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder and salt.
Stir together.
Then add the beaten egg, buttermilk, oil and honey.
Stir until combined.
(Batter should be a little thicker than pancake batter)

3.
Remove hot dogs from package.
Wipe them all dry with a paper towel (this will help the batter stick to them better).
Insert one skewer or wooden stick into each hot dog.

4.
Pour the batter into a tall drinking glass.
Holding by the skewer, take one hot dog and dunk it into the batter, coating all of the hot dog.
Slowly remove from batter and let a little excess batter drip back into the cup.

5.
Immediately place it into the hot oil, while still holding the stick.
Turn as necessary to brown all sides.
Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until all sides are a deep golden brown.
Remove from hot oil and place on paper towels to drain grease.
Repeat with all hot dogs.
