Combine flour, 1 cup cornmeal, baking powder and salt in a bowl. Using a pastry blender, cut in shortening until texture of coarse meal. In a small bowl, beat egg and milk. Pour egg mixture into dry ingredients. Stir until barely mixed. Sprinkle 1/2 cup cornmeal onto wax paper. Insert a wooden skewer into each hotdog. Using a spoon, form dough around each hot dog.
