1 cup yellow cornmeal
1 cup of flour
1/4 teaspoon salt (we didn't use)
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon honey (I didn't measure, just squirted)
1/4 cup sugar
4 teaspoons baking powder
1 egg
1 cup Milk
1qt veg. oil
1-2 packages of ball park hot dogs
Popsicle sticks or wooden skewers
In a bowl combine cornmeal, flour, salt, pepper, sugar, and baking powder. Stir in eggs and milk. Put mixture in a tall cup so that you can coat the hot dog easy. Heat your oil in your pan or skillet, we had the skillet temp. at 425. Make sure that it gets hot, but not to hot that it burns the cornmeal. When your oil is up to temp drop your first corn dog into oil (we tested just one to make adjustments if needed). We learned that if you started turning the corn dog right after you dropped it in the oil that the cornmeal stayed together and cooked a perfect corn dog.
We also made mini corn dogs and took string cheese cut in half and covered in the batter mixture for some yummy fried cheese.
It made about 14 Corn Dogs and 5 fried cheese. Enjoy it's yummy fried food!!

Note: If you dry your hot dogs and then roll in flour before diping in mixture it stayed together when frying.
