American Cheese Dog Recipe

Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Hot Dogs

   Insert wooden skewers into each hot dog, pushing them in halfway to create a handle.

2. 2

   Prepare the Cheese

   Cut each slice of American cheese into quarters and wrap them around the hot dogs, securing with toothpicks if needed.

3. 3

   Make the Batter

   In a large bowl, mix together the cornmeal, all-purpose flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.

4. 4

   Combine Wet Ingredients

   In another bowl, whisk together the milk and egg. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.

5. 5

   Heat the Oil

   In a deep pot or fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).

6. 6

   Coat the Hot Dogs

   Dip each cheese-wrapped hot dog into the batter, allowing excess batter to drip off.

7. 7

   Fry the Corn Dogs

   Carefully place the coated hot dogs into the hot oil and fry until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels.

8. 8

   Serve
