Ingredients

cup Yellow corn meal

6 Frankfurters

cup Flour

1 teaspoon Sugar

1 teaspoon Dry mustard

1 teaspoon Baking powder

teaspoon Salt

cup Milk

1 Egg, lightly beaten

1 teaspoon Melted shortening

Preparation

Combine the cornmeal, flour, sugar, mustard, baking powder and salt, mixing well. Add the milk, egg and shortening, mixing until very smooth. Pour the mixture into a tall glass. Put the frankfurters on sticks. Dip them into the cornmeal batter to coat them evenly.
