To serve this fairground treat as a fun appetizer, cut the hotdogs into four or six pieces and serve with ballpark mustard as a dip. You can find nitrate-free hotdogs in the organic section of the grocery store or at specialty food shops. You will need about 1/4-inch (5 mm) thick wooden skewers, cut in 6-inch (15 cm) lengths.

Ingredients

Method

In large bowl, whisk together 1 cup of the flour, cornmeal, baking powder, sugar, baking soda, salt and cayenne pepper. Whisk together eggs, beer and buttermilk; whisk into dry ingredients. Set aside.

Pour enough oil into deep-fryer or Dutch oven to come 2 inches (5 cm) up side. Heat until deep-fryer thermometer registers 375ºF (190ºC).

Meanwhile, in bowl, toss hotdogs in remaining flour until coated. Insert thick wooden skewer two-thirds of the way into each for handle; tap off excess flour.

Pour batter into tall glass; dip hotdogs into batter to coat, adding 1 to 2 tbsp water if too thick. Gently add hotdogs to oil; deep-fry, in batches and turning halfway through, until golden brown, about 3 minutes. Drain on rack.
