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.
