Target recipe: combine flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, salt and dry mustard in a bowl. cut in shortening until mixture resembles fine crumbs. mix egg and milk. add to dry ingredients. mix well. dry frankfurters well with paper towels (this allows the coating to stick better). insert skewers into the end of the frankfurters. pour oil into a skillet to a depth of 1 inch. heat oil to 375 degrees. coat franks with batter.
