| Required: | a tall glass |
| Ingredients: | 4 cups vegetable oil 1 pkg. hot dogs (8 or so) 1/2 C flour 1/2 C yellow cornmeal 1 tsp baking powder 1/2 tsp salt 1/2 tsp sugar 1 Tbsp shortening 1/3 C milk 1 egg 8 wooden skewers |
| Instructions: | Combine flour, cornmeal, baking powder, salt, and sugar into a zip-loc bag at home. Put hotdogs in a pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil, remove from heat, and let sit with the lid on. Fill a skillet or dutch oven with oil so it is 2 inches deep. (To use less oil, put an empty vegetable can in the skillet with a rock in it to take up space) Heat the skillet to about 375 degrees. Add shortening to dry ingredients and cut up with a fork so there are only tiny bits of shortening. Combine milk and egg in a cup or zip-loc bag. Pour milk/egg into cornmeal mixture and mix thoroughly. Pour cornmeal batter into a tall glass. Remove a hotdog from hot water and dry with a paper towel. Insert a skewer into the end of the hotdog, leaving and inch as a handle. Dip hotdog into batter in the tall glass. Place hotdog into oil and fry until golden brown, about 2 minutes. Serves 4 to 6 |
