homemade corn dogs

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups yellow cornmeal
• 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 1 Tablespoon baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 egg beaten
• 1 1/2 cups buttermilk regular milk works too
• 1 Tablespoon vegetable oil
• 1 Tablespoon honey
• 1 10 count package Hot Dogs
• 10 wooden skewers or chopsticks
• 2 Quarts Vegetable Oil for frying

Instructions

• In a medium or large pot, add the oil. Turn heat to medium and heat oil to 350 degrees F.
• In a large bowl, add the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Stir together. Then add the beaten egg, buttermilk, oil and honey. Stir until combined. (Batter should be a little thicker than pancake batter)
• Remove hot dogs from package. Wipe them all dry with a paper towel (this will help the batter stick to them better) Insert one skewer or wooden stick into each hot dog.
• Pour the batter into a tall drinking glass. Holding by the skewer, take one hot dog and dunk it into the batter, coating all of the hot dog. Slowly remove from batter and let a little excess batter drip back into the cup. Immediately place it into the hot oil, while still holding the stick. Turn as necessary to brown all sides. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until all sides are a deep golden brown. Remove from hot oil and place on paper towels to drain grease. Repeat with all hot dogs
