Pour enough oil to a 2" depth in a skillet and heat to 350°F.
Combine flour, cornmeal, baking powder, salt, and sugar in a medium-size bowl and blend with fork. Add shortening and cut in with fork until the size of small peas.

Remove hot dogs from water and dry with paper towels. Insert skewer into the hot dog, and be sure to leave about 1" for handle. Dip hot dog into batter; let excess batter drip into glass. Drop into hot fat fry 2 minutes, or until golden brown.
