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 large egg
1 cup 2% milk
10 hot dogs
10 wooden skewers
Oil for deep-fat frying

Directions

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.
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.

Haven't tried this yet, AdSense my granddaughter loves corn dogs oh, I will have to try it. My opinion is if you are going to eat a hot dog, eat a GOOD hot dog, like something all beef and natural. When she spends the night at my house we tried to think of something fun and unusual to cook. This will fit the bill. We'll update my review after we try it! Looks like a great recipe.
