Ingredients
- 1 cup yellow cornmeal
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 8 lean hot dogs
- 8 wooden skewers or popsicle sticks
- Vegetable oil, for frying
Instructions
-
In a mixing bowl, combine yellow cornmeal, whole wheat flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
-
In a separate bowl, whisk together milk, egg, and vegetable oil.
-
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. The batter should be thick enough to coat the hot dogs.
-
Insert a wooden skewer or popsicle stick into each hot dog, leaving enough for a handle.
-
Pour vegetable oil into a deep skillet or pot until it’s about 2 inches deep. Heat the oil to 350°F (175°C).
-
Dip each hot dog into the batter, ensuring an even coating.
-
Carefully place the coated hot dogs into the hot oil, a few at a time, and fry until golden brown (about 3-4 minutes).
-
Use a slotted spoon to remove the corn dogs from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
-
Repeat the process until all corn dogs are fried.
-
Let the corn dogs cool slightly before serving.
