Ingredients

1 cup all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2/3 cup cornmeal
1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon sugar
1 egg
1 - 1 1/4 cup buttermilk
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
8 -10 hot dogs (each cut into 6 or 8 pieces)
peanut oil (for frying)

Preparation

In medium bowl, combine flour, baking powder, salt, cornmeal, and both amounts of the sugar.
In a small bowl, combine the egg and buttermilk.
Add wet ingredients to the dry ones.
Add 1/4 cup buttermilk if batter is too stiff.
Immerse 6 or 8 hot dog pieces at the time in the batter.
In a small skillet, heat about 1 inch of oil to medium high.
Use a fork or tongs to take hot dog pieces out of batter and place carefully into hot oil.
