These are really good, but remove the Skins before frying in the pan.
RedHots
These are pretty good Hot Dogs too.
Hot Dog Buns
Just your Standard Hot Dog Buns. Steam them first, which makes them softer and easier to separate in order to butter them before toasting. You only need a few seconds. If they start to shrivel up, you’re steaming them too long. Steam slit side down first and then flip to steam the bottom.
