Preparing the pickle dog
Choose 6 large and straight whole pickles. Dry them off with a paper towel.
Use an apple corer and carefully core the pickles lenthwise.
Insert a hot dog into the hollowed out pickle and cut off any excess.
Remove the trimmed hot dog from the pickle. Insert a thick skewer or a popsicle stick through the hot dog leaving a couple inches for a handle.
Re-insert the skewered hot dog into the pickle and secure with a toothpick if needed. Remind your tasters that there's a toothpick in there.
Batter
In a large bowl whisk together the flour, sugar, salt, baking powder, and cornmeal.
In a small bowl lightly beat the eggs and add them to the milk.
Slowly pour the milk/egg mixture into the dry mix and stir to form a batter.
Spread the panko breadcrumbs onto a shallow rimmed pan.
Take a pint glass or any tall wide-mouth jar. Transfer the batter into the glass filling it 3/4 full.
Use a paper towel and dry off the pickle dog, this will allow the batter to stick better.
Dip the pickle dog in the batter and slowly pull it out. Swirling at the end to catch any drips.
Heat 3-4 inches of vegetable oil in a deep-fryer or dutch oven to 360˚F/ 182˚C.
Roll the battered dog in the panko. Place gently into the preheated oil.
Fry a few minutes on each side. Gently turning to ensure even browning. When golden remove and drain on a rack or a paper towel-lined plate.
Serve warm with a side of smooth peanut butter.
