- 8 hot dogs
- 1 cup cornmeal
- 1 ¼ cup flour, divided
- 2 Tablespoons sugar
- 2 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup milk

Instructions
- Pat the hot dogs dry and put the sticks in the hot dogs.

- In a separate container mix the milk and vinegar together, let stand for 1 minute. Whisk in the egg. Add the milk mixture to the cornmeal and combine. Pour into a tall glass. Refrigerate for 10 minutes.
- Heat 4 inches of oil in a deep pan. Oil needs to reach 350° before cooking.
- Place the cut fries in a shallow container.
- Begin by coating the hot dogs in flour. Shake off any excess.
- Dip one hot dog all the way in the cornbread batter, making sure it is covered completely. Shake off extras.

- Gently cradle the whole fry covered hot dog and place in the hot oil.
- Cook for 3 to 4 minutes until the hot dog is golden and crispy.
- Remove and repeat with remaining hot dogs.
- Serve with ketchup, mustard, chips or fries. A salad is a nice side dish with this as well.
