These were so good. I was planning on doing lots of stuff with them so I tripled this batch. I was able to get 24 hodogs done, 9smokies & loads of onion rings. Probably the best onions rings I’ve ever had! Those were the biggest hit.
In a large pot, heat vegetable oil to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. I prefer to use my cast iron skillet. But a pot is safer.
In a mixing bowl, stir together cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, & salt. Beat in the egg, milk, and melted butter.
Insert the popsicle or craft sticks into each hot dog/smokies. Pat each hot dog dry with a paper towel.
Transfer batter to a tall drinking glass or I use a mason quart mason jar for larger batches for easy dipping. Dip each hot dog/smokie into the batter, covering the hot dog/smokie completely. After dipping, put immediately into the hot oil to fry.
Fry each dog until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per corndog. Turning dogs half way threw. Put on paper towels to drain.
Anyone else ever make onion rings out of corndog batter before?
