Corn Dogs

• 3 quarts vegetable or canola oil, for frying
• 3/4 cup yellow cornmeal
• 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 pinch black pepper
• 1 large egg
• 1 cup buttermilk
• 1 dash hot sauce, optional
• 8 pre-cooked hot dogs or sausages

1. Fill a deep pot with oil (enough to fully submerge your corn dogs), and heat it to 360u0b0 F.
2. While the oil is heating, combine all of the dry ingredients in a large bowl. Whisk in the egg, buttermilk, and hot sauce, if using.
3. Stick chopsticks or wooden skewers into your wieners. Once the oil is heated, pour the batter into a tall glass or jar and dip the wieners into the batter, covering them fully. Fry them until golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes, and transfer to a paper towel.
4. Let cool slightly and enjoy!
