Who doesn't love a corndog? They remind us of childhood and going to the county fair or beach. Well, luckily with this video's help, you won't have to leave your house for one of these summertime treats. Check it out and make your own, step by step.
You Will Need
* 1 qt. vegetable oil
* 1 c. flour
* ¼ tsp. salt
* 1/8 tsp. pepper
* ¼ c. baking powder
* 1 c. cornmeal
* 1 c. milk
* 1 egg
* 16 hot dogs
* Deep saucepan
* Food thermometer
* Tall glass or mason jar
* 16 wooden skewers

Step 1: Heat oil
Heat the oil in a deep saucepan to 365 degrees.

Step 2: Combine ingredients
Combine all the ingredients in a mixing bowl. Stir the ingredients until the mixture is smooth; then transfer some of it to a tall glass or mason jar.

Step 3: Insert skewers
Insert the wooden skewers into the ends of the hot dogs.
Dry the hot dogs with paper towels so the batter will stick.

Step 4: Dip the hot dogs
Dip the hot dogs in the batter in the glass or jar, shaking off the excess. Refill the glass as you go.

Step 5: Fry hot dogs
Deep-fry two to three hot dogs at a time until they are golden brown, about 10 minutes. Remove them with tongs and place them on paper towels to drain. Serve them warm, but don't eat too many before you go on the rides.
