Mini Corndogs Recipe

Combine flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl. With a pastry blender, cut vegetable shortening into flour mixture until there are fine crumbs. Add egg and milk and blend well.

Pour vegetable oil to a 2 inch depth in a deep fryer or large saucepan. Heat to 375 degrees.

Pat frankfurters dry with paper towels. Insert a toothpick into the center of each frankfurter. Dip each frankfurter into batter and then into hot oil until golden brown.

Drain on paper towels.
