- 1 tsp baking powder

Instructions
Creating mini corndogs at home is easier than you might think. Just follow these simple steps:
- Prepare the Dry Ingredients
In a bowl, mix together the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. This will form the base of your corndog batter. - Combine Wet Ingredients
In another bowl, whisk the milk and egg together until well combined. Pour this mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring until you achieve a smooth batter. - Skewer the Hot Dogs
Insert a wooden skewer into each hot dog, leaving enough of the skewer exposed to use as a handle. - Heat the Oil
In a pot, heat oil over medium heat. The oil should be hot enough to fry the corndogs, but not so hot that they burn quickly. - Dip and Fry
Dip each skewered hot dog into the batter, ensuring it’s completely coated. Carefully place each one into the hot oil. Fry until they turn a beautiful golden brown, approximately 3-4 minutes. Once fried, drain them on paper towels to remove excess oil.
