Ingredients

3 quarts vegetable or canola oil, for frying
3/4 cup yellow cornmeal
1 1/4 cups 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

1

Fill a deep pot with oil (enough to fully submerge your corn dogs), and heat it to 360° F.
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.
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.
