What's better than a hotdog? A hotdog on a stick that's been deep-fried in a cornmeal batter, that's what. Molly Yeh from my name is yeh is showing us how to make boring wieners into state fair stars.
Ingredients
- 3 quart vegetable or canola oil, for frying
- 3/4 cup yellow cornmeal
- 1 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 pinch black pepper
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 dash hot sauce, optional
- 8 pre-cooked hot dogs or sausages

Directions
- Step 1
Fill a deep pot with oil (enough to fully submerge your corn dogs), and heat it to 360° F.
- Step 2
While the oil is heating, combine all of the dry ingredients in a large bowl. Whisk in the egg, buttermilk, and hot sauce, if using.
- Step 3
Stick chopsticks or wooden skewers into your wieners. Once the oil is heated, pour the batter into a tall glass or jar and dip the wieners into the batter, covering them fully. Fry them until golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes, and transfer to a paper towel.
- Step 4
Let cool slightly and enjoy!
