Category: Recipes

1 C. flour
2 T. sugar
1 1/2 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. salt
2/3 C. cornmeal
2 T. solid shortening
1 slightly beaten egg
3/4 C. milk
8-10 hot dogs
8-10 wooden sticks (like popsicle sticks)
vegetable oil for deep-frying

Sift together flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Stir in cornmeal.
Cut in shortening. Combine egg and milk and add to mixture. To ensure
batter sticks to hot dogs, wipe them dry with a paper towel. Insert
sticks into hot dogs or use a fork to roll them in batter until
coated,
or pour the batter into a tall glass for dipping. Deep-fry in hot
vegetable oil at 350 to 375 degrees for 4-5 minutes. Drain on paper
towels. Makes 8-10 servings.

NOTE:
If batter is too thick, add a little milk.

Make these up ahead, flash freeze, place in ziplock bags until ready
to microwave one minute.
