    List of Ingredients




    1 cup all-purpose flour
    2/3 cup yellow cornmeal
    2 TB sugar
    1-1/2 tsp. baking powder
    1/2 tsp. dry mustard
    1/4 tsp. salt
    2 TB shortening
    1 beaten egg
    3/4 cup milk
    8 to 10 wooden skewers (look for them at craft shops)
    8 to 10 (1 lb.) frankfurters, smoked frankfurters, or cheese-filled
    frankfurters
    Cooking oil
    Catsup (optional)
    Mustard (optional)

    Recipe



    1. In a bowl, stir together flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, dry
    mustard, and salt. Cut in shortening until mixture resembles fine
    crumbs.

    2. In a bowl, mix together egg and milk. Add to flour mixture and mix
    well.


    3. Insert wooden skewers into the ends of frankfurters. Pour cooking
    oil into
    skillet to a depth of 1 inch; heat oil to 365º F.

    4. Coat franks with batter. (If batter is too thick, add 1 to 2
    tablespoons
    milk.) Place coated franks, 3 at a time, in hot oil. Turn franks with
    tongs
    after 10 seconds to prevent batter from sliding off. Cook for 2 to 3
    minutes more
    or until golden, turning again halfway through cooking time.

    5. Serve hot, with catsup and mustard, if you like.

    Makes 8 to 10 servings.
