Steps
1
To a 10- or 12-inch heavy-duty deep-sided skillet or deep fryer, add enough oil until about 2 inches deep. Heat the oil to 350°F on a thermometer.
2
Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine the corn muffin mix, flour, onion powder, garlic powder, egg, and milk. Season with salt and pepper and whisk until smooth. Pat the hot dogs dry with paper towels. Cut each hot dog in half crosswise to make 16 (3-inch) pieces. Lightly dust hot dog pieces with flour and insert a skewer into each piece lengthwise.
3
Working in batches of 5–6 hot dogs, dip each hot dog into batter, turning to fully coat and letting excess drip off (if batter thickens as it sits, add 1 tbsp milk to thin out). Carefully place battered hot dogs in the hot oil and fry 2–3 min., until golden brown, turning occasionally with tongs. Using a slotted spoon or tongs, transfer corn dogs to a paper towel–lined tray. Repeat battering and frying process with remaining hot dogs. Serve with the ketchup and mustard for dipping.
