  • 1 cup milk
  • Vegetable oil (for frying)

Instructions
 

  • Heat oil in a deep fryer or skillet to 350°F (175°C).
  • Insert wooden skewers into the hot dogs, leaving enough of the skewer to hold.

  • Add egg and milk to the dry ingredients and whisk until the batter is smooth and thick.
  • Dip each hot dog into the batter, coating it evenly.
