1 cup buttermilk
1 egg
2 tablespoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons vegetable oil, more for frying
Hot Dogs
8 franks

Directions
-
Fill a medium pot a quarter of the way, about 2 inches longer than the hot dogs. Heat over medium heat to 350°F.
-
As oil is heating, combine sugar, salt, cornmeal, baking powder, and flour.
-
Add buttermilk, two tablespoons of vegetable oil, and an egg to the dry mixture, whisking until a batter forms.
-
Insert skewers into the hot dogs, leaving about 3-4 inches of skewer as a handle.
-
Fill a tall glass with the batter. Dip each hot dog, twisting to fully coat.
-
Place directly into the oil and fry until golden brown, around 5-6 minutes.
-
Drain on paper towels and enjoy!
