Heat the Oil
In a deep skillet or pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer for accuracy.

Coat the Hot Dogs
Dip each cheese-stuffed hot dog into the batter, ensuring it is evenly coated.

Fry the Cheese Dogs
Carefully place the battered hot dogs into the hot oil. Fry for 4-5 minutes or until golden brown, turning occasionally for even cooking.

Drain and Serve
Once cooked, use a slotted spoon to remove the cheese dogs from the oil and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve hot with your choice of toppings.
