1

Start by measuring 1 cup of whole milk (250 milliliters) and add it to a bowl.

2

Beat 1 egg slightly and add it to the milk, then stir to combine.

3

In another container, combine 3/4 cup of all-purpose flour and 3/4 cup of cornmeal.

4

Add 2 tablespoons of sugar, 1/4 teaspoon of salt, and 2 teaspoons of baking powder to the dry ingredients.

5

For added flavor, mix in 1 teaspoon of powdered dried jalapeno, 1/2 teaspoon of onion powder, and 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder (optional).

6

Mix the dry ingredients thoroughly before adding the wet ingredients.

7

Heat about an inch of vegetable oil in a heavy pan on the stove to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

8

Pat dry the hot dogs to help the batter stick better.

9

Insert a bamboo skewer into each hot dog, ensuring it goes down the center but not all the way to the end.

10

Pour the batter into a tall, thin glass, leaving space at the top.

11

Dip each hot dog into the batter, swirling it around to coat evenly, then carefully place it into the hot oil.

12

Fry the corn dogs for about 3-4 minutes, or until they reach the desired color, spinning them occasionally for even cooking.

13

Once cooked, remove the corn dogs from the oil and let them drain on paper towels.
