Servings: 16
Yield: 16 Super Dogs

Ingredients:

1 cup yellow cornmeal
1 cup all-purpose flour
¼ cup white sugar
4 teaspoons baking powder
¼ teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
⅛ teaspoon black pepper
1 cup buttermilk
1 egg
2 tablespoons Honey
3-4 tablespoons corn starch
1 quart vegetable oil for deep frying
2 (16 ounce) packages of the best all beef frankfurters you can get
16 wooden skewers (If you can’t find them locally you can order them online)
1 tall drinking glass

Directions:

1. Whisk cornmeal, flour, baking powder, sugar, salt, black pepper and baking soda, together in larger bowl.
2. In separate bowl, whisk buttermilk, honey and egg together.
3. Slowly whisk the buttermilk mixture into cornmeal mixture until combined nice and smooth with no lumps 
4. Let batter set at room temperature until needed; it will thicken slightly.
5. Meanwhile, heat oil in Dutch oven over medium-high heat to 350°F
6. Line a plate with paper towels.
7. Thread frankfurter onto wooden skewers.
8. Pat the frankfurter dry and lightly coat with the corn starch, brushing off excess.
9. Just before oil is hot, stir batter to recombine. Transfer half of batter to tall drinking glass leaving about a 2-inch head space (be sure the glass is deeper than the frankfurters is long)
10. Working with 1 frankfurter at a time, submerge in batter using skewer as handle, and twirl to coat completely.
11. Remove frankfurter from batter twirling it while allowing excess batter to drip back into glass
12. Gently drop into the hot oil; be sure the frankfurter is totally submerged, repeat immediately with 3 more frankfurters
13. Fry frankfurter, turning occasionally with tongs, until deep golden, 4-6 minutes.
14. Transfer Super Dog to the paper towel-lined plate and let drain.
15. Repeat with remaining batter and frankfurters, adjusting heat as needed to maintain the 350-degree temperature.

RECIPE NOTES:
Do not use stone-ground or coarsely ground cornmeal. Aunt Jemima Yellow Corn Meal works fine.
