• Cut the hot dogs into ⅓ pieces and coat in flour to help batter to stick to the dogs.
• Preheat oil to 350ºF (180ºC).
• Dunk flour battered hot dogs into corn dog batter by using a fork. Make sure to fully coat the dogs before frying in the oil.
• Fry at 350ºF (180ºC) for 3-4 minutes or until golden brown. For even cooking use a slotted steel spoon or a pair of tongs to rotate the floating corn dogs.
• Dry off excess oil with paper towels.

• Enjoy!

Steps:

• For the corndogs: Pour the oil into a Dutch oven fitted with a deep-fry thermometer. Place over medium-high heat and preheat to 375 degrees F.
• Insert a toothpick lengthwise into the center of each cocktail frank, leaving about 1/2 inch of toothpick exposed.
• Mix together the corn muffin mix, buttermilk and egg in a medium bowl to make a batter. Pour the batter into a small cup to make it easier to dip the franks.
• In batches, hold onto the toothpick and dip a frank into the batter. Slowly turn until the frank is evenly coated. Drop into the hot oil and fry until golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Drain and place onto a cooling rack over a baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining franks and batter. Let cool slightly.
• For the sweet and spicy mustard: Whisk together the hot pepper jelly and mustard in a small bowl.
• For the fry sauce: Whisk together the ketchup, mustard and Worcestershire sauce in a small bowl.
• Serve the corndogs with the sauces.

Steps:

• Special equipment: 8 sets chopsticks, not separated
• Pour oil into a deep fryer or large heavy pot and heat to 375 degrees F. In a medium mixing bowl, combine the cornmeal, flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda, and cayenne pepper. In a separate bowl, combine the jalapeno, corn, onion, and buttermilk. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients all at once, and stir only enough times to bring the batter together; there should be lumps. Set batter aside and allow to rest for 10 minutes.
• Scatter the cornstarch into a dry pie pan. Roll each hot dog in the cornstarch and tap well to remove any excess.
• Transfer enough batter to almost fill a large drinking glass. Refill the glass as needed. Place each hot dog on chopsticks, and quickly dip in and out of the batter. Immediately and carefully place each hot dog into the oil, and cook until coating is golden brown, about 4 to 5 minutes. With tongs, remove to cooling rack, and allow to drain for 3 to 5 minutes.

Steps:

• Heat 2 inches of oil in a large heavy pot to 375 degrees F on a deep-frying thermometer. Line a plate with paper towels.
• Insert wooden ice pop sticks or skewers securely into the hot dogs.
• Meanwhile, whisk together the cornmeal, flour, sugar, salt, baking powder and baking soda in a medium bowl.
• Whisk the eggs and buttermilk together in a large bowl. Add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients and whisk to combine. Pour the batter into a tall drinking glass.
• When the oil is hot, dip a hot dog into the batter to coat thoroughly, then add it to the oil. Repeat with as many as will fit comfortably in the pot. Fry, turning occasionally, until puffed and golden brown all over, 4 to 5 minutes. Transfer to the lined plate to drain. Repeat with the remaining hot dogs, returning the oil to 375 degrees F between batches.
• Serve immediately with ketchup and mustard.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine the first 4 ingredients. Cut in butter and shortening until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Beat egg and milk; stir into dry ingredients until a soft dough forms; dough will be sticky. , Turn onto a generously floured surface; knead 6-8 times or until smooth, adding additional flour as needed. Roll out to 1/4-in. thickness. Cut with a 2-1/4-in. biscuit cutter. Fold each dough circle over a hot dog and press edges to seal. Place on greased baking sheets. , Bake at 450° until golden brown, 10-12 minutes. In an small bowl, combine the sauce ingredients. Serve with corn dogs.

Steps:

• Warm the milk to about 110 degrees in a saucepan; pour into a medium bowl. Sprinkle in the yeast and let soften for about 2 minutes. Stir in the olive oil, brown sugar and cornmeal with a wooden spoon. Add the flour, salt, baking soda and cayenne pepper; stir to make a sticky dough.
• Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead, adding more flour if needed, until smooth but still slightly tacky, about 5 minutes. Shape the dough into a ball, place in a lightly oiled bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Let rise in a warm spot until doubled in size, 45 minutes to 1 hour. Meanwhile, insert a wooden stick or small skewer into each hot dog half, about 1 inch deep; set aside.
• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees and lightly oil a large baking sheet. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface; divide into 18 pieces. With your palms, roll each piece into a 10-inch length. Wrap each piece around a hot dog half, tucking and pressing the edges to seal; place on the baking sheet.
• Brush the dough-wrapped dogs with the beaten egg; sprinkle with sesame seeds, if desired. Bake until golden, 15 minutes.

Steps:

• In a deep fryer or saucepan, heat 4 inches of oil to 375 degrees.
• In a large bowl, whisk together cornmeal, flour, sugar, 1 teaspoon salt and the baking powder. In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk and egg. Stir the wet ingredients into the dry until just combined.
• Coat hot dogs evenly in the batter. Working in batches, fry until golden brown all over, turning if needed, about 2 minutes. Drain on paper towels. While warm, season with kosher salt.
