Homemade Corn Dogs

Serves 10.

Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups yellow cornmeal
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup sugar
1 Tablespoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 egg, beaten
1 1/2 cups buttermilk (regular milk works too)
1 Tablespoon vegetable oil
1 Tablespoon honey
1 (10 count) package hot dogs
10 wooden skewers or chopsticks
2 quarts vegetable oil, for frying

Directions:
In a medium or large pot, add the oil. Turn heat to medium and heat to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. In a large bowl, add the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Stir together. Then add the beaten egg, buttermilk, oil, and honey. Stir until combined. Batter should be a little thicker than pancake batter.
Remove hot dogs from package. Wipe them dry with a paper towel (this will help the batter stick to them better). Insert one skewer or wooden stick into each hot dog. Pour the batter into a tall drinking glass. Holding by the skewer, take one hot dog and dunk it into the batter, coating all of the hot dog. Slowly remove from batter and let a little excess batter drip back into the cup. Immediately place it into the hot oil, while still holding the stick. Turn as necessary to brown all sides. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until all sides are a deep golden brown. Remove from hot oil and place on paper towels to drain grease. Repeat with all hot dogs.
