Combine cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and pepper in a large bowl; stir in the milk and the egg until the batter is smooth. Cover and refrigerate until needed.

Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the hot dogs and cook until heated through, about 7 minutes. Drain them on a paper towel-lined plate and let them rest for 10 minutes.

Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Insert one skewer into each hot dog and blot them dry with paper towels. Pour the chilled batter into a tall glass.

Dip one hot dog into the batter to coat it, then transfer it to the hot oil. Repeat with as many hot dogs as will comfortably fit in the fryer without overcrowding.
