Corn Dogs - cooking recipe

Ingredients

3/4 cup yellow cornmeal
3/4 cup flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 egg, beaten
2/3 cup milk
6 -8 small wooden sticks
6 -8 hot dogs
oil, for deep-fat frying

Preparation

Combine cornmeal, flour, baking powder, salt and egg; mix well.
Stir in milk to make a thick batter; place in a tall narrow glass. Let stand 4 minutes to thicken.
Meanwhile, heat oil to 375 degrees F.
Pat hot dogs dry. Dust with flour if desired. Insert sticks in hot dogs; dip into batter. Let excess drip off.
Fry until golden brown, about 5-6 minutes. (I've found it works best to fry them one at a time. Unless you have a fryer that is big enough to handle more without them touching.).
Drain on paper towel.
