Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 egg
1 8.5 oz package corn muffin mix
2 tsp garlic powder
2 tsp onion powder
3/4 c milk
1/2 c all purpose flour
1 pkg hot dogs of your choice (i like to use oscar myer bun length as one dog cuts perfectly into 3)
vegetable oil for frying
24 toothpicks
FOR THE RELISH
3/4 c ketchup
1/4 c pickled hot peppers (diced)
1/4 c pickled sweet peppers (diced)

Steps:

1. In a small bowl mix the ketchup and peppers, set aside
2. In a large bowl combine egg, corn muffin mix, garlic powder, onion powder and milk
3. In a seperate dish add flour. Cut hot dogs in 1/2's or 1/3's depending on hot dog size. To save time I dredge all hot dog pieces in flour in the bowl at same time and leave in there until i am ready to dip in batter.
4. Insert toothpick into end of hot dog, shake off excess flour, and dip into batter. Fry 2-3 hot dogs at time for 1-2 minutes or until golden brown. Original recipe says deepfryer but I just use small saucepan with few inches of oil and a pair of tongs. Drain on paper towels. Serve warm with the relish.
