Something went wrong. Our team is working on it. Original recipe (1X) yields 8 servings 1 cup yellow cornmeal 1 cup all-purpose flour ¼ cup white sugar 4 teaspoons baking powder ¼ teaspoon salt ⅛ teaspoon ground black pepper 1 cup cold whole milk 1 large egg 16 large hot dogs 2 cups vegetable oil for frying, or as needed 16 skewers Directions Combine cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and pepper in a bowl; stir in milk and egg until smooth. Cover and refrigerate until needed. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Cook hot dogs in boiling water until heated through, about 7 minutes. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate and let rest for 10 minutes. Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Insert one skewer into each hot dog and blot dry if wet. Pour chilled batter into a tall drinking glass. Dip one hot dog into batter until well coated; transfer to hot oil. Repeat with as many hot dogs as can comfortably fit in the fryer without overcrowding (one or two more). Fry until lightly browned, about 3 minutes. Drain on paper towels. Repeat to coat and fry remaining hot dogs. Tips If you have more time, refrigerate the batter in Step 1 for up to an hour. A colder batter works better to coat the hot dogs.
