Homemade Corn Dogs

Homemade corn dogs - quick to make the batter - and super quick to fry them - and they'll be eaten quickly too!

Heat 4" oil in Dutch oven until a drop of the batter sizzles and browns.

In a bowl, mix 1/2 cup corn meal, 1/2 cup flour, 2 T sugar, 2 tsp baking powder, 1/2 to 3/4 cup milk, salt and pepper to taste - whisk.

Cut six franks in half and insert wooden skewers or lollipop sticks.

Prepare paper towels for the corn dogs after they're done.  Pour the batter into a tall glass. Insert each frank into the batter, then into the hot oil.  Use tongs to turn the corn dog so it's brown all around (fry about 3 at a time, 2-3 minutes each) then remove and let drain on paper towels.

Set out mustard and ketchup for dipping!
