This the closest I can come up with, it's Australian.

Pluto Pups (Dagwood Dogs or Battered Saveloys) are a scrumptious snack. They are saveloy sausages, impaled on a wooden skewer, dipped in delicious thick batter and quickly deep fried until they are crisp and golden on the outside. Dipped in tomato sauce (ketchup) for extra flavour.
BATTER INGREDIENTS
1 Beaten egg
1 Cup Milk
1/2 Teaspoon Salt
1 Cup Plain Flour or enough to thicken mixture to tacky stage so that it sticks to the saveloy when dipped.
METHOD
Add the salt and half the milk to the egg and beat well, gradually add the flour mixing well to prevent lumps forming. Batter mix must be thick and smooth. Use extra milk or flour to achieve the right texture.
Have your oil for deep frying very hot. Impale each saveloy lengthwise with a skewer, leaving enough skewer to hold the pluto pup with to eat it. Quickly dip the saveloy in water, roll into flour, then back into water, then dip and coat the pluto pup with batter, drop into hot oil.
When golden brown, they are done, drain well on brown paper to absorb excess oil. Dip top half of pluto pup into tomato sauce (ketchup) and serve immediately.
*Note Saveloys may be called by other names in different countries, they may be called frankfurters also. Also sausages are delicious cooked in this manner too...however they must be cooked first and allowed to cool, to remove any excess fat.
