Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Hot Dogs
-
Pat dry the hot dogs with paper towels. This ensures the batter sticks properly.
-
Insert a wooden skewer into each hot dog, leaving enough length at the bottom to hold comfortably.
-
Place them on a tray and keep them chilled in the refrigerator while you prepare the batter. Chilling helps the batter cling better.
