• 1 package (8-1/2 ounces) cornbread/muffin mix
• 2/3 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon ground mustard
• 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
• 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
• 1/2 teaspoon paprika
• 1/8 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 cup 2% milk
• 1 large egg
• 10 wooden skewers
• 10 hot dog
• Oil for deep-fat frying

1. In a large bowl, combine the first 7 ingredients. In another bowl, whisk milk and egg; stir into dry ingredients just until moistened. Let stand for 15 minutes. Insert skewers into hot dogs; dip into batter.
2. In an electric skillet or deep-fat fryer, heat oil to 375°. Fry corn dogs, a few at a time, until golden brown, 2-3 minutes, turning occasionally. Drain on paper towels.

\ Test Kitchen tips

Don't forget to let the batter stand before coating the hot dogs. It thickens up a bit and clings better after 15 minutes. Make sure the oil temperature returns to 375° between batches.
