8 sausage (Frankfurters or hot dog type)
1 c flour (all purpose)
1 t sugar
1⁄2 t salt
2⁄3 c cornmeal
2 T butter (or margarine, cold)

Instructions

Sift together the flour, sugar, salt, baking powder, and pepper in a bowl. Stir in the cornmeal.

Cut the butter into the flour mixture, in small pieces, with a knife until the butter becomes a bunch of flour coated balls, each one the size of a pea.

Whisk the milk and the egg together and pour this liquid mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir until well blended and the mixture has the consistency of a thick batter.

Spread each hot dog with the batter until it is evenly coated.

Put the oil in a deep fry pan and heat over medium heat.

Fry the hot dogs for 2-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. Brown them on all sides.

Remove the cooked hot dogs to the plate and allow them to rest 2-3 minutes.

Insert a wooden skewer into one end of each hot dog. Serve with a bowl of mustard on the side.
