Ingredients
- 20 mini hot dogs or cocktail sausages
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup yellow cornmeal
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 egg
- 2/3 cup milk or buttermilk
- Toothpicks or mini skewers
- Oil for frying
- Optional: ketchup, mustard, or honey mustard for dipping
Instructions
- Pat mini hot dogs dry with paper towels. Insert toothpicks or mini skewers into each one.
- In a bowl, mix flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- In another bowl, whisk together the egg and milk. Combine with the dry ingredients and stir until smooth.
- Heat oil in a deep pot to 350°F (175°C).

- Fry in batches for 2–3 minutes, or until golden and crispy.
- Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

Notes
- Ensure hot dogs are dry and cold for the batter to stick better.
- Dip in a little flour before battering for extra adhesion.
- Don’t overcrowd the oil—fry in batches for even cooking.
- Batter should be thick enough to cling—adjust with flour or milk if needed.
