Canola oil is a healthier option with a similar frying quality.

Heat the frying oil in an 8-inch Dutch oven until hot.

Lay out 6 hot dogs and dry them well to help the batter stick.

In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1 cup cornmeal, 3 tablespoons baking powder, 3 tablespoons brown sugar, 1 tablespoon garlic, and 1 tablespoon Red River Ranch original seasoning.

Stir the dry ingredients until the brown sugar is well incorporated and not clumpy.

Add 1 cup and 3/4 buttermilk, 1 tablespoon avocado oil, and honey to the dry ingredients and mix well.

Incorporate 1/4 cup grated onion and 1/4 cup jalapeno (if using) into the batter, adjusting for moisture as needed.

Check the consistency of the batter to ensure it will stick to the hot dogs.

Insert skewers into the hot dogs, ensuring they fit in the frying apparatus.

Dip each hot dog into the batter, ensuring they are fully coated.

Carefully place the battered hot dogs into the hot oil, frying in batches until golden brown.

Remove from oil and drain on paper towels.
