I saw this idea on Pinterest, and immediately had to try it! They are the perfect bite for appetizers, a quick kid-friendly dinner, or as a snack. I like to make a bunch and then stick them in the fridge for my three-year-old. They are even delicious cold!
Ingredients:
1 recipe Cornbread batter (see below)
1 package Hot Dogs
Cooking Spray
Ketchup and Mustard for dipping
Preparation:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Grease a mini muffin pan with cooking spray. Prepare corn bread batter according to directions below. Cut hot dogs into 1"-2" pieces (I cut each dog into 6 pieces, using a total of 4 hot dogs) Spoon 1 tablespoon cornbread batter into each muffin cup. Press hot dog piece into each muffin cup until mostly covered by the batter. Repeat until all muffin cups are full. Bake at 400 for 15-17 minutes or until mini corn dog muffins are golden brown. Remove from oven and cool slightly before serving. Dip in ketchup and mustard.
Variation: You can also make full size corn dog muffins, just place 3 hot dog pieces into each regular muffin cup and bake for 18-20 minutes or until corn dog muffins are golden brown.
Cornbread
Ingredients:
1 cup milk
6 tablespoons butter, melted and cooled slightly
1 large egg
1 1/4 cups yellow cornmeal
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
6 tablespoons butter, melted and cooled slightly
1 large egg
1 1/4 cups yellow cornmeal
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
Preparation:
Heat oven to 400 degrees. Combine dry ingredients and set aside. Beat milk and egg in a large bowl with a beater. Stir in melted butter and stir into wet ingredients. Add dry ingredients and stir just until combined. Use batter for corn dog muffins as above (or for regular cornbread, bake in a cast iron skillet or baking dish with extra melted butter in the bottom at 400 degrees for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown and toothpick comes out clean).
