12 hot dogs
corn meal batter:
2 eggs, slightly beaten
1 c milk
1/4 c oil or melted shortening
1 1/2 c corn meal
1 c flour
1/4 c sugar
2 1/4 tsp baking powder
3/4 tsp salt
Dogs can be halved, quartered or left whole. Growing up we added a Popsicle stick for easy eating, but we didn't tonight. Mix corn meal batter thoroughly, dip dogs and immediately put into hot oil (365 degrees F) for 3 1/2 to 4 minutes. Carefully take out and place on a paper towel covered plate. We used a fry daddy, but we frequently fry in a wok or use a pot on the stove top. This was our first time so they look a little scary, but taste amazing. JP thinks that he will be able to perfect the look next time. Kids loved it, but weren't able to finish all of the breading (they ate two whole dogs though).

Okay, I gave these a whirl tonight with not much luck. The batter kept oozing off the hotdogs before I could even get them clear of the batter bowl. I even dried the puppies off to see if that would help. No go.
Any suggestions? The batter was good, what I could get to stick and I want to try them again.
More than just slightly dim...
