By Gloria Pitzer, as seen in… Gloria Pitzer’s Cookbook – Best Of The Recipe Detective (Balboa Press; Jan. 2018, p. 110) [A revised reprint of Gloria Pitzer’s Better Cookery Cookbook (Secret RecipesTM, St. Clair, MI; May 1983, 3rd Edition).]
INGREDIENTS:
Rounded wooden toothpicks
[1-lb pkg] ballpark-type hot dogs
[½ cup] water
[½ cup] plain flour
1 prepared recipe of my “Archer Treacher…” or “Lone John Sliver…” batter*
[*See “Recipes” tab on this website.]
INSTRUCTIONS:
Cut hot dogs into 3 pieces, each. Insert toothpick into cut end and half-way through each piece, to use as a “handle”. Moisten pieces in water. Coat [pieces] in plain flour then coat in prepared fish batter. Drop a few at a time in 425°F oil/Crisco mix (as given in batter recipe.
Fry for 4-5 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Remove from oil using plyers or tongs to grasp the toothpicks. Let them drain on a paper-towel-lined cookie sheet, while keeping them warm in a 300°F oven until all the hot dog pieces have been fried. Serve them piping hot with my [Fresh’s Mild Mustard”].
