I have a homemade wholewheat corn dog recipe, you can use the batter for fritters. Will come back later this afternoon and edit this post with it...

Corn Dogs
Mix:
1 C cornmeal
1 C whole wheat cake flour
1 Tbs sugar
1 T baking powder
1 tsp chili powder
1 t salt (optional)

Mix: (in a separate small bowl)
1 C milk
2 eggs, beaten
1/4 C corn oil

Pat dry a package of hotdogs. Place skewers in each (use popsicle sticks from the craft store, chop stick from the dollar store, or wood skewer from the grocery store). Stir milk mixture into the flour mixture until batter just comes together. Heat 1" oil in a fry pan. Dip hotdogs to coat with batter. Cook in oil about 2-3 minutes turning halfway. Drain on paper towel.

NOTE: this recipe is forgiving and you can substitute stone ground or white flour although the final taste and textures will be slightly different. Also mixing the batter a bit extra is not going to be a problem. The trick is to have just the right number of hotdogs to use up the batter. You can probably stretch the recipe to make 1 1/2 packages of regular size hotdogs. Or 2 packs of big franks. I also cut the extra long hotdogs in half and use at least 2 packages.

FRITTERS: try dropping scoops of batter (approx. 1/8 C size) into the oil for just fritters.
