Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the cornmeal, shortening and salt with a fork until the shortening is completely incorporated into the cornmeal. Mix in the boiling water a little at a time until a stiff dough forms, about the consistency of soft clay.
- Press the dough into the donut molds in a thin even layer to completely coat each mold, including the centerpiece that would create the hole in the donut. Dip your fingers in water to keep the dough from sticking to them as you press it into the molds.
- Bake until firm, 12 to 15 minutes. Let cool slightly, then carefully remove the sombreros from the molds.
- Fill a medium pot with about 4 inches of oil and heat to 350 degrees F over medium heat. Working in batches, fry the sombreros until just light brown, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a baking sheet lined with paper towels and sprinkle with a bit of salt.
- Fill each sombrero with salsa or guacamole.

Steps:
- Fill a deep pot with the oil and heat to 360 degrees F. Set a wire rack over a sheet tray.
- Meanwhile, combine the flour, cornmeal, sugar, poppy seeds, baking powder, salt and pepper in a large bowl. Whisk in the egg, buttermilk and hot sauce, if using. Place a 5-inch skewer halfway through the center of each cocktail frank. Dip the franks in the batter to coat, then place into the oil to fry until golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon or tongs to the wire rack. Repeat with the remaining franks and batter, being sure to return the oil to temperature between each batch.
- Stand a frank up, and onto the skewer thread a tomato, pearl onion, sport pepper and cornichon. Sprinkle with the celery salt. Serve with the relish and mustard. Repeat with the remaining skewers.

No need to have skewers for these! Leftover batter can be refrigerated and used for a couple of days. One son likes them better made with the leftover batter. I have never cooked a whole pack of hot dogs in one session, so I don't know how long that would take. Cooking time is estimated for one serving. Recipe from The Southern Living Cookbook. Update: there was a question about the two listed amounts of sugar. The recipe is correct as shown. I put 1 T plus 1 tsp of sugar in the batter.
