Ingredients Method

Ingredients

  

• 1 c. flour
• 1 c. yellow cornmeal
• ⅓ c. sugar
• 2 ½ tsp. baking powder
• 1 c. milk
• 2 large eggs
• ¼ c. vegetable oil
• 3 hot dogs cut into ½ inch pieces

Method

 

1. Start by heating your oven to 425°F and greasing either a regular muffin tin or a mini muffin tin with cooking spray. Then, in a medium-sized bowl mix the flour, cornmeal, sugar, and baking soda together until combined. In a second bowl, whisk the milk, eggs, and oil together until fully mixed. Next, mix the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined.
2. In a saucepan, go ahead and saute your hot dog bites for 2-3 minutes over medium heat. You can also pop them in the microwave for a minute or two if you'd like.
3. Last, pour the batter into the muffin tins so that each tin is ¾ full. Then place a hot dog bite into the middle of the tin so that it's mostly submerged in the batter. Then pop the tin into the oven for 13-15 minutes or until the muffins are golden brown. Remove and allow to cool slightly before serving with your choice of dipping sauce!
