Preparation

Step 1

Heat oil in a 7 to 8 quart pot over medium-high to 375°F.

Combine buttermilk, eggs, relish, mustard, and Tabasco in a bowl.

In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, salt, and baking soda.

Stir buttermilk mixture into cornmeal mixture to combine; let stand 3 minutes. (The mixture will be thick.) Whisk mixture until smooth again; transfer to a tall cup.

Halve hot dogs crosswise. Insert popsicle sticks into cut ends of hot dogs.

Dip dogs into batter, coating entirely.

Fry dogs in batches of 4 until golden, 5 to 7 minutes; drain on a paper-towel-lined baking sheet.
