- 2/3 cup yellow cornmeal
- 2 tablespoons dry, unhopped malt extract
- 1-1/2 teaspoons baking powder
Liquid Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup buttermilk

These dogs are celebrating National Corn Dog day as shown in this vintage Pabst Blue Ribbon ad.
- 1 large egg
And The Rest:
- 8-pack of hot dogs
- Wooden skewers
- 2 cups of more of cooking oil
Directions:
- Mix the dry ingredients together in a mixing bowl.
- In a separate dish, beat together the egg, beer, and buttermilk until frothy.
- Add egg mixture to dry ingredients and blend until batter thickens. Wait 5 more minutes for the batter to set up, if necessary.
- Skewer hot dogs.
- Heat oil to 350F.
- Pour batter mix into a tall glass. Dunk one dog at a time into batter mix, swirl, lift and let excess batter drip off back into the glass.
- Lay the battered dogs (just a few at a time) down into the oil and turn until they are golden brown. Remove and drain on paper towels.
