I actually DID have a hot dog for supper tonight - along with cucumber sticks, sliced tomatoes, egg drop soup with fried egg noodles, and cantaloupe for dessert.

Collard greens and dirty rice
We ordered souvlaki pitas. We opened a can of dolmades to have with them. It hit the spot.

Not sure what i did wrong. I'm sure it was a bad recipe
. Those in a store/fair are soft and fluffy and better sticks perfectly. Mine were not fluffy at all. Were grainy and did not stick to the hot dogs.

@CharlieD It may have been the batter. I keep thinking that I want to try this recipe. If I make it, I will cut the sugar way back to no more than 1/4 cup because I don't want my corndogs to taste like candy. Also, I will use white cornmeal because that is what I keep on-hand. I might also use buttermilk instead of regular milk.
To get the batter to stick better, I will let hotdogs sit out for 20 minutes or so before wiping them dry. A trick my grandmother taught me when it comes to coating almost anything.
I have a cast iron deep fryer as pictured in this recipe link. Last of all, I would use a high heat oil and make certain that the temperature is 350 degrees Fahrenheit or better before dropping a corndog in.
So....my "expert" advice from someone who has never made them. Let me know if you give it a try.
