Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup cornmeal
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 large egg
- 3/4 cup milk
- 6 hot dogs, cut into 1 to 1.5-inch pieces

Instructions
- Cut the hot dogs into 1 to 1.5-inch pieces and pat them dry with paper towels.
- In a large bowl, combine the cornmeal, flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Whisk until well mixed.

Pat hot dogs dry before battering. Monitor the oil temperature for best results. Fry in small batches to ensure even cooking.
