Start by inserting a wooden skewer into each hot dog.

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, salt, and black pepper.

Slowly add the milk to the dry ingredients, stirring until combined.

In a deep fryer or pot, heat the oil to 350°F (175°C).

Dip each skewered hot dog into the batter, ensuring it’s fully coated.

Carefully place the coated hot dogs into the hot oil.

Fry them for about 4-5 minutes until golden brown, turning occasionally.

Using a slotted spoon, remove the hot dogs from the oil and place them on paper towels.

Serve immediately with your choice of toppings.
