The boys didn't have school today....so I thought it would be a good time to try out these little gems!Made ours gluten-free with the help of Pamela's Baking Mix...but of course if you don't need to go that route...good old fashioned flour will suffice!
No. 3 son (aka...pickiest eater in the world) had a few and thought they were OK.
No. 2 GF son...pretty much ate all the rest! lol. Suffice it to say...he was a FAN! OK...I ate a few too. I couldn't resist the slight sweetness of the cornbread paired with the salty little hot dog bites! YUM!
Mini Corn Dog Muffins
Makes 48 mini muffins
Adapted from: Iowa Girl Eats
Ingredients:
1/2 cup melted butter
1/2 cup sugar
2 eggs
1 cup buttermilk (I used 1 cup milk & added 1 tsp. cream of tartar)
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup cornmeal
1 cup all purpose flour (I substituted Pamela's Gluten-free Baking Mix)
1/2 teaspoon salt
8-10 all-beef hot dogs, cut into 1″ bites
Directions:
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
First thing I did was mix up some homemade "buttermilk" so it could sit for a few minutes.
(Just add 1 teaspoon cream of tartar per 1 cup milk, stir, let sit for 5 mins or more.)
Combine butter and sugar in a bowl, and whisk to combine.
Add eggs and whisk to incorporate. Add buttermilk and whisk.
In a separate bowl, combine baking soda, cornmeal, flour, and salt,
and stir to combine.
Whisk into wet ingredients.
Spray a mini muffin tin with non-stick spray, and spoon
1 Tablespoon of batter into each mini muffin cup.
These are our favorite hotdogs. :-)
Place one hot dog bite into the middle of each cup.
Bake for 8-12 minutes (oven temperatures vary), or until cornbread is golden brown.
Cool in mini muffin tin for 5 minutes before serving.
(In retrospect, I should have cut the hot dog pieces a titch longer
because some of them got "buried" in cornbread.)
Store leftovers in the refrigerator, and re-heat for 20-30 seconds before serving.
A tasty little bite!
ENJOY THE WEEKEND EVERYONE!
mmmm sounds yummy would be good for a kids party and easy to make a bunch of them just borrow some extra muffin tins. Thanks
ReplyDeleteyummmm could you use a box mix?? i know it isn't from scratch but it is what we like
ReplyDeleteJust got these out of the oven:) We used a box mix cause it is what I had on hand. Can't wait to try them! Also I am snacking on the homemade "restaurant" salsa I found in one of for post. Yummy! I love it! Thanks for telling us about this:)
ReplyDeleteA doubt ... he is a sweet or savory recipe? I am asking for the amount of sugar used?Kisses.
ReplyDeleteI can tell this is not a traditional Southern recipe, it contains sugar. ;) No self-respecting Southerner would add sugar to any cornbread recipe.
ReplyDeleteSorry, but just couldn't resist this little dig. I know you don't need to add sugar if you don't want to. Too bad my boys are grown with children of their own. I no loner have a good reason to make these. Will have to come up with a good one. ;)
