A different corn dog recipe to please the inner child. Or the outer child for that matter.

SERVES 4 -5 (change servings and units)

    Mix egg and milk.
  4. 4
    Add to dry ingredients.
  5. 5
    Mix well.
  6. 6
    Dry frankfurters well with paper towels (this allows the coating to stick better).

    Pour oil into a skillet to a depth of 1 inch.
  9. 9
    Heat oil to 375 degrees.
  10. 10
    Coat franks with batter.
  11. 11
    (if batter is too thick, thin with a little milk).
  12. 12
    Arrange coated franks 3 at a time in hot oil.
  13. 13
    Turn franks with tongs after 10 seconds to prevent the batter from sliding off.
  14. 14
    Cook for 3 minutes, turning again 1/2 way through cooking time.
  15. 15
    Serve hot with catsup and mustard.

We had to add about 1/4 cup more milk to get these to work right for us, but they were SO good, the dry mustard really gives it a little extra "oomph". We served it with our JDs sauce and it was SO good! Thanks for sharing this one!

    I prepared these using cocktail franks. We also used a deep fryer instead of pan frying. They were really tasty and cute. We added onion salt and garlic powder to the remaining batter and fried up some hush puppies, too.

    I haven't tried this recipe YET. But, here is a suggestion I have found on similar recipes. If you are having a hard time getting the batter to stick to your hotdogs try patting the hot dog dry with a paper towel first or dusting lightly with flour. The moisture on the hot dog prevents the batter from sticking.

    This was very easy to make. The only changes I made were to leave out the dry mustard and shortening. I poured the batter into a tall glass and dipped the franks in. Easy! Be sure to follow step 12 and turn the corn dogs after 10 seconds. That helps to keep them from flattening out. I will definitly make this again and again.
