Pronto Pups - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 c. all-purpose flour, unsifted
2/3 c. plain, yellow cornmeal
2 tsp. sugar
1 tsp. salt
1/4 c. shortening
1 egg, slightly beaten
3/4 c. milk
2 pkg. (8 count each) hot dogs
vegetable oil for frying

Preparation

Set hot dogs out in advance so they will come to room temperature and have dry outer skin.
(I usually place on a paper towel.)
Pronto Pup batter will not stick to cold, wet hot dogs.
