• white sugar
• baking powder
• baking soda
• salt
• buttermilk
• egg
• lard
• shortening

Instructions

1. 1 Heat oil in a deep fryer to 370 degrees F (185 degrees C). Soak the wooden sticks in water so they will not burn easily.
2. 2 Stir together flour, self-rising flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl. Make a well in the center and add buttermilk, beaten egg, and lard; stir until batter is smooth. Set aside to rest briefly.
3. 3 Meanwhile, insert a wooden stick into the center of each hot dog to use as a handle. Pat hot dogs dry with a paper towel to help batter stick.
