Homemade Corndogs

This is a delicious homemade corndog recipe. It is the perfect amount for 6 regular sized corndogs.

3/4 cup yellow cornmeal
1/2 cup flour
dash of salt
dash of pepper
3 tablespoons white sugar (next time I want to try honey for a richer sweetness)
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 egg
1/2 cup milk
6 hotdogs
3 wooden skewers cut in half
vegetable oil for frying

1. Mix together all the dry ingredients. Add liquid ingredients and mix well. Let stand for 5-10 minutes.
2. Dry off the hot dogs very well. They need to be perfectly dry so the batter sticks.
3. Heat oil on medium-high heat. You don't want it too hot otherwise they will brown too quickly and not be done on the inside. Put the skewers into the hot dogs (I had the wooden grilling skewers and since they are so long I cut them in half). Dip the hot dogs into the batter. You will probably need to spoon it on as well since it is so thick.
4. Fry for about 3-4 minutes until golden brown. Drain on paper towels.
