Directions:

1. Pour vegetable oil into a large skillet and bring to medium heat.
2. Insert a skewer into each hot dog.
3. Starting at the bottom, make an incision in each hot dog and twist upwards to create a spiraled cut along the entire length of the hot dog.
4. Create a gap between each layer by gentling pulling the hot dog down the skewer.
5. Mix water and pancake mix until you achieve a dough-like consistency. Add additional pancake mixture if need to make dough workable.
6. Section dough into eight even balls and roll into long strips.
7. Wrap a dough strip around each hotdog, tucking the dough into the open slits.
8. Place hot dogs in heated oil. Rotate every 30 seconds until evenly browned (approximately 2-3 minutes).
9. Remove and serve immediately.
