Ingredients

1/3 c cornmeal
1 1/4 c flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 c caster sugar
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper (optional)
1 egg, lightly beaten

Steps:

1. Place polenta, 1 cup flour, baking soda, baking powder, cayenne pepper (if using), sugar and ½ teaspoon salt in a bowl and stir to combine. Stir in egg, then, gradually stir in enough buttermilk to make a smooth, thick batter.
2. Fill a deep-fryer or large saucepan ⅓ full with oil and heat over medium heat to 180°C.
3. Place remaining ¼ cup flour in a shallow bowl and, working with one hot dog at a time, dust in flour, shaking off the excess, then, holding one end of the hot dog with tongs, coat liberally in batter.
4. Gently drop into oil and fry for 4 minutes, turning halfway, or until crisp and golden.
5. Drain on paper towel.
6. Thread corn dogs onto skewers and serve immediately with ketchup and mustard.

They say the show must go on, but it just can't without a Dagwood Dog - one of the top 40 Australian foods. This frankfurter on a stick is battered and deep-fried and is found at most carnivals. With tomato sauce on top, of course. Or as we call it in the US, ketchup. (Mustard is optional!)

1 3/4 c milk
1 egg, beaten

Tips:

Use high-quality hot dogs: The quality of your hot dogs will make a big difference in the final product. Look for hot dogs that are made with 100% beef and have a good snap to them.
Cook the hot dogs properly: Hot dogs can be cooked in a variety of ways, but the most popular methods are grilling and boiling. Be sure to cook the hot dogs until they are heated through, but not overcooked, otherwise they will become tough.
Use a variety of toppings: The great thing about Dagwood dogs is that you can top them with just about anything you like. Some popular toppings include chili, cheese, sauerkraut, onions, and relish. Get creative and experiment with different toppings until you find a combination that you love.
Make it a meal: Dagwood dogs can be served as a main course or as a snack. If you're serving them as a main course, pair them with a side of fries, chips, or coleslaw. If you're serving them as a snack, cut them into smaller pieces and serve them with toothpicks.

Conclusion:

Dagwood dogs are a delicious and fun food that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are perfect for parties, picnics, or a quick and easy meal. With so many different toppings to choose from, there's sure to be a Dagwood dog that everyone will love. So next time you're looking for something new and exciting to try, give Dagwood dogs a try.
