Ingredients

  • 1 package (8-1/2 ounces) cornbread/muffin mix
  • 2/3 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon ground mustard
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 cup 2% milk
  • 1 large egg
  • 10 wooden skewers
  • 10 hot dogs
  • Oil for deep-fat frying

Directions

  1. In a large bowl, combine the first 7 ingredients. In another bowl, whisk milk and egg; stir into dry ingredients just until moistened. Let stand for 15 minutes. Insert skewers into hot dogs; dip into batter.
  2. In an electric skillet or deep-fat fryer, heat oil to 375°. Fry corn dogs, a few at a time, until golden brown, 2-3 minutes, turning occasionally. Drain on paper towels.

Test Kitchen tips
  • Don't forget to let the batter stand before coating the hot dogs. It thickens up a bit and clings better after 15 minutes.
  • Make sure the oil temperature returns to 375° between batches.
