For the best flavor, use high-quality, all-beef hot dogs. Ensure the oil temperature remains consistent for even cooking and golden-brown results. If you don't have self-rising flour, you can make your own by adding 1 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder and 1/2 teaspoon of salt to 1 cup of all-purpose flour. Serve immediately for the crispiest texture. They're great with ketchup, mustard, or your favorite dipping sauce! Soaking the wooden sticks is important to prevent burning, but ensure you pat down the hotdogs to remove extra moisture before dipping

Follow The Directions
01
StepPrepare for Frying: Heat oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 370°F (185°C). Ensure wooden sticks are soaked to prevent burning. (Prep time: 5 minutes)
02
StepCraft the Batter: In a large bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, self-rising flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Create a well in the center, then add buttermilk, beaten egg, and melted lard or shortening. Stir until the batter is smooth. Allow the batter to rest briefly for optimal consistency. (Prep time: 10 minutes)
03
StepPrepare the Hot Dogs: Insert a wooden stick into the center of each hot dog, creating a handle. Pat the hot dogs dry with a paper towel to ensure the batter adheres properly. (Prep time: 10 minutes)
04
StepBatter Up!: Dip each hot dog into the prepared batter, allowing any excess to drip off. If the batter struggles to stick, lightly roll the hot dog in a bit of flour before dipping. (Prep time: 15 minutes)
05
StepFry to Golden Perfection: Carefully fry the battered hot dogs, a few at a time, in the hot oil until they achieve a beautiful golden brown color and are heated through. This should take approximately 5 to 6 minutes per batch. Monitor the oil temperature to prevent overly browned exteriors with cold interiors. Adjust as needed to maintain consistent cooking. (Cook time: 20-30 minutes)
