Basic Corndog Recipe

If you're making your own, dry the dogs off with a towel before dipping in the batter. Makes the batter stick a lot better.

Dry Ingredients
1 cup all-purpose flour
2/3 cup yellow cornmeal
2 tablespoons dry, unhopped malt extract
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder

Liquid Ingredients
1/2 cup buttermilk
1/4 cup pabst blue ribbon beer
1 large egg

And The Rest
8-pack of hot dogs
Wooden skewers
2 cups of more of cooking oil (Method
Mix the dry ingredients together in a mixing bowl. In a seperate dish, beat together the egg, beer, and buttermilk until frothy. Add egg mixture to dry ingredients and blend until batter thickens. Wait 5 more minutes for the batter to set up, if necessary.

Skewer hot dogs. Heat oil to 350F. Pour batter mix into a tall glass. Dunk one dog at a time into batter mix, swirl, lift and let excess batter drip off back into the glass. Lay the battered dogs (just a few at a time) down into the oil and turn until they are golden brown. Remove and drain on paper towels.
