2. Divide the mixture into 8 portions and shape each around a hot dog.
3. In another bowl, mix flour, cornmeal, baking powder, and salt, then gradually add milk to form a thick batter.
4. Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
5. Dip each hot dog wrapped in beef into the batter for an even coating.
6. Carefully lower the battered hot dogs into the hot oil and fry for 5 to 7 minutes until golden brown, turning as needed.
7. Remove the corn dogs from the oil and drain on paper towels.
8. Serve hot with condiments of your choice. Enjoy!
For an extra crispy texture, try double-dipping the corn dogs in the batter before frying. You can also add a pinch of cayenne pepper or smoked paprika to the batter for a little heat. If you prefer a lighter version, consider baking them in the oven at 400°F (200°C) for about 20-25 minutes until golden brown.
