Corny Dogs

Ingredients

• Vegetable oil (for deep frying)
• 1/2 cup unsifted all-purpose flour (for dredging)
• 2/3 cup yellow cornmeal
• 1/3 cup unsifted all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup milk
• 1 egg, well beaten
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 10 ready-to-eat frankfurters (1 pound)
• 10 wooden skewers

Directions

Place oil in deep-fat fryer, insert deep-fat thermometer, and begin heating to 375 degrees F. Place 1/2 cup dredging flour in pie pan; set aside.

Mix cornmeal, 1/3 cup flour, and salt in 2-cup glass measure. Add milk, egg, and 2 tablespoons vegetable oil. Mix well and set aside.

Thread frankfurters onto wooden skewers. Roll in dredging flour to coat, shaking off excess. Dip frankfurters, one at a time, in cornmeal batter, then fry in 375 degree F oil until golden brown, about 2 to 3 minutes. Serve warm.
