Ingredients

tsp of salt: 1/4
black pepper: 1/8 tsp

baking powder: 4 tsp
egg: 1
cup of milk: 1

How To Make Corn Dog
- Take a medium-sized clean dry bowl and add the all-purpose flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, salt, and pepper. Mix these dry ingredients together.
- Take a separate bowl and beat one egg, both yolk and white combined, and then add milk to it.
- Pour this egg/milk mixture into the dry mix ingredients and still them together until they are combined well.
- In a medium or large sized deep pot and pour the vegetable oil into it. Heat the oil and once it is hot enough turn heat to medium.
- Remove the packaging of the hot dogs. Pat dry them with the help of a paper towel and insert a wooden skewer in each one of them.
- Take a tall drinking glass and pour the batter into it. Now put one hot dog at a time in this glass to coat it properly from top to bottom. Once covered completely take it out of the glass and place it in the hot oil. Fry 2 to 3 frankfurters or as much space is available in the pot, at a time for 2 to 3 minutes or until they become lightly browned on all sides.
- Take them out and place on a plate lined with paper towel to drain the excess oil, and keep repeating the process until all frankfurters are cooked.
- Serve with condiments of your choice along with fries or crispy onion rings to enjoy a feast!
