Step 1:

Use good-quality hot dogs — this is one thing you really shouldn't skimp on. Any vegetable oil will do, and go for larger, ideally farm-fresh eggs. The flour matters a lot here, since it shapes the overall flavor of the dish. I'm using regular all-purpose flour, but you could just as easily use rice or buckwheat flour for a new taste and aroma!
Step 2:

Lightly beat the egg with a fork and a pinch of salt.
Step 3:

Sift the flour and mix in a little salt. I always recommend sifting the flour — it makes the coating lighter and crispier!
Step 4:

Peel the plastic wrapper off the hot dogs. If they have a natural casing, give them a good rinse.
Step 5:

Dip each hot dog in the beaten egg.
Step 6:

Then dredge it in the flour. Repeat once more, so the order is egg – flour – egg – flour.
Step 7:

Heat the oil in a heavy-bottomed skillet. Any vegetable oil works, from sunflower to olive, but it must be refined so it doesn't burn. Fry the hot dogs over low heat, turning them, until evenly golden brown. If the heat is too high, the coating will brown before the inside is cooked — and undercooked hot dogs aren't great. Keep an eye on it. Then transfer them to a paper towel to blot off excess oil.
Step 8:

Serve right away, while they're hot — with a side or on their own, with vegetables or a salad. They're delicious any way you serve them. Enjoy!

These batter-fried hot dogs are a hit with kids and adults alike. They're a great choice for a kids' party or a family day outdoors. Serve them with mashed potatoes — a combo the kids will especially love. For the adults, I'd round it out with seasonal vegetables or a light salad. If you'd rather have something hot alongside, grilled vegetables are perfect. One thing: pay close attention to the hot dogs' ingredients. Choose ones without questionable additives and with a higher meat content. Enjoy!
