• Pour oil into a deep fryer or large heavy pot and heat to 375 degrees F. In a medium mixing bowl, combine the cornmeal, flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda, and cayenne pepper. In a separate bowl, combine the jalapeno, corn, onion, and buttermilk. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients all at once, and stir only enough times to bring the batter together; there should be lumps. Set batter aside and allow to rest for 10 minutes.

Immediately and carefully place each hot dog into the oil, and cook until coating is golden brown, about 4 to 5 minutes. With tongs, remove to cooling rack, and allow to drain for 3 to 5 minutes.

CLASSIC CORN DOG BATTER

Steps:

• 1. In a mixing bowl, combine all the ingredients and mix well. Cut hot dogs into the correct size to fit the Corn Dog maker cavity. Insert a wooden skewer into each hot dog, to make a "handle". With a tablespoon fill the corn dog maker about 2/3 full and lay hot dog while on the stick into the corn dog cavity. Add more batter on top of the hot dog and close the top securely. Do Not overfill the cavities with the batter as the filling will rise during the baking process. Bake until the hot dog is lightly brown, for a crunchier coating leave in longer.
• 2. *** The maker does not give a time for cooking. 5-10 minutes is plenty... Do Not open machine for the first 2 minutes!!!
