Directions:

In a bowl, mix together the cornmeal, flour, baking powder, sugar, salt and milk. After mixing, add shortening and mix well.


Gently stir in egg until mixture is smooth.

Stick a toothpick into the end of each wiener, leaving about one inch of toothpick exposed.

Using the toothpick as a handle, dip each weiner into the corn batter until it is evenly covered. You may need a knife to spread the batter around.

Drop the wieners into hot oil (360°) in a deep fryer and cook until coating is a golden brown color. Remove from the oil and drain on paper towels.

Serve warm with mustard.
