Make sure the hot dogs are at room temperature. In a large bowl, stir together the Bisquick, cornmeal, dry mustard, paprika, and red pepper. Stir in the egg and milk until well blended. Let the batter rest for 10 minutes.
Into a large saucepan, pour enough oil to come to a depth of about 2 inches. Heat over medium high heat until the oil registers 370 degrees F on a deep fat frying thermometer. Dip a hot dog into the batter to thoroughly coat. Then with tongs, slip the dog into the hot oil; do 2 dogs at a time, no more. More than 2 will lower the temperature of the cooking oil.
Cook the dogs, turning with a metal slotted spoon, until browned all over, 2-3 minutes. Remove the dogs to paper towels to drain. Repeat with the remaining dogs. Stick a wooden skewer or Popsicle stick in one end of each dog.

This is Sandra Lees from semi homemade recipe
Ingredients
1 egg
1 (10-ounce) package corn muffin mix
3/4 cup milk
2 packets spaghetti sauce spice seasoning mix
Heat oil to 360 degrees F in a deep-fryer. Dredge each beef frank in flour seasoning mix, dust off excess then dip into cornmeal batter. Fry 2 to 3 corn dogs at a time for about 3 minutes or until golden brown. Drain on paper towels. Serve warm.
This is the recipe my family has been using since the late 1950's.
Corny Dogs
1 cup flour
1 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons sugar
Insert skewers into 8 frankerfurters. Dip franks into cornmeal mixture. Drop into deep fat and fry until golden brown.
I had a recipe for baked corn dogs and lost it. If anyone has it I would appreciate it.
Thanks,
Annette from ME
You might try searching under wrapped corn dogs. That uses a yeast dough. I always loved the ones they served in the school cafeteria when I was growing up.
Back in the 60s there was a place called Dairy Pride that had hot dogs on a stick. It was in Mexico, Missouri. I don't think there was only cornmeal in the recipe. I cannot find the recipe or one similar.

good luck.
Kwiki digs at dairy pride were the best. I've thought of them often over the years and I wish I can make them. I finally checked the other day and found an old post from the 1984 MHS Facebook page. I'm going to try to make an even smaller batch and test it out today. Here is there a smaller version of the recipe.

I've been looking for a recipe for homemade corn dogs. Not a casserole, but the actual thing. Does anyone have one? Thank you.
