Kristine
These were such a big hit at Katherine’s 6th birthday party that she requested them the following year.
ingredients
- 1 pound little wieners or smokies (about 48) or hot dogs cut into thirds
- 2/3 cup yellow cornmeal
- 1 cup flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup + 1 tablespoon milk
- 2 tablespoons Shortening
- 1 egg, slightly beaten
- toothpicks
- vegetable oil for frying
- Dijon mustard
directions
- 1
Mix together cornmeal, flour, baking powder, sugar and salt. Stir in milk, then add shortening and egg. Gently stir in egg until mixture is smooth.
- 2
Insert a toothpick into the end of each wiener, leaving about one inch of toothpick exposed.
- 3
Holding each wiener by the toothpick, dip into the corn batter. With a butter knife, spread the batter over the wiener so it is evenly covered.
- 4
Gently drop the wiener into hot oil (360°) in deep fryer and cook until golden. Remove from oil and drain on paper towels. Serve warm with Dijon mustard.

May be prepared, frozen, and stored in freezer bags. Heat frozen wieners for 8-12 minutes at 350 degrees.
