Thank you. Now I can enjoy with my grandkids.

I don't know HOW this worked for everyone else if you followed the recipe instructions. This batter turned out so thin you couldn't possibly coat anything with it. The only explanation or alteration that I can think of is that maybe you should add the meal mix TO the boiling water on the stove and thicken it a bit like polenta? But per the instructions I dumped it into the bowl. I don't get it....

Thank you, Bill! I cut this recipe in half and did 5 Oscar Meyer Beef dogs with enough left over for about 3 more. The batter was just right with excellent flavor. I will use this recipe to surprise my grandchildren on their next visit...and we didn't even have to stand in line to get a great corn dog!
