INGREDIENTS:

any amount of hot dogs
1 teaspoon butter per each hot
dog





DIRECTIONS:

Make a 1-inch vertical cut
through each of the hot dog
ends.

























Flip hot dogs 90 degrees and
make another 1-inch cut.


















You now have a cross-like cut.



















Over medium heat, melt butter in
skillet.

















Add hot dogs. Cook over
medium heat for about 1 minute,
or until slightly golden on

Flip over with spatula or tongs
and cook another minute, or
