2 Tbsp. honey
1 egg, beaten
1 1/4 c. buttermilk
1/2 tsp. baking soda
2 pounds hot dogs
wooden sticks

1. Heat oil in a deep fryer to 365 degrees.
2. In large bowl, stir together the flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder and salt. Stir in honey. Make a well in the center and pour in the egg, buttermilk, and baking soda. Mix until everything is smooth and well blended.
3. Pat the hot dogs dry with paper towels so that the batter will stick. Insert wooden sticks into the ends. Place batter in tall glass.
