You know, when you're on a thrifty food budget, those 99 cent hot dog packs often become a staple dinner item once a week. With an 89 cent package of hot dog buns at Aldi you've got a meal for less than $2 and a few extra bucks to take the kids somewhere special this weekend.
But those cheaper hot dogs due leave the palate with something to be desired. They seem a bit flimsy, under nourished as you boil away at their skins. Next time instead of investing in the hot dog buns why not grab a small yellow corn meal package and evaporated milk? This recipe is easy and will make those want-to-be-bulkier hot dogs more rib pleasing.
1 cup flour
1/2 cup yellow cornmeal
1 tab. sugar
1 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. onion powder
1/4 tsp. paprika
dash pepper
1 egg
1 cup evaporated milk
Oil for deep frying
Wooden skewers
Package of hot dogs
In a bowl whisk the first eight ingredients. Stir in egg and milk until just blended. Put batter in a tall drinking glass. In your Fry Daddy or other skillet heat oil to 375 degrees. Insert skewers on hot dogs and dip into batter, allowing excess to drip off. Fry a few at a time for 2-3 minutes, until golden brown. Drain on paper and serve immediately.
