Make sure the hot dogs are at room temperature. In a large bowl, stir together the Bisquick, cornmeal, dry mustard, paprika, and red pepper. Stir in the egg and milk until well blended. Let the batter rest for 10 minutes.
Into a large saucepan, pour enough oil to come to a depth of about 2 inches. Heat over medium high heat until the oil registers 370 degrees F on a deep fat frying thermometer. Dip a hot dog into the batter to thoroughly coat. Then with tongs, slip the dog into the hot oil; do 2 dogs at a time, no more. More than 2 will lower the temperature of the cooking oil.
Cook the dogs, turning with a metal slotted spoon, until browned all over, 2-3 minutes. Remove the dogs to paper towels to drain. Repeat with the remaining dogs. Stick a wooden skewer or Popsicle stick in one end of each dog.

I've been looking for a recipe for homemade corn dogs. Not a casserole, but the actual thing. Does anyone have one? Thank you.
