My husband loves corn dogs, but wanted something that wasn't deep fried. He went through a phase where he created a cornbread dough that he formed around the hot dogs and then baked...they were ok...but left a bit to be desired. So I thought of a way to make it even easier, why not make cornbread batter, chop up some hot dogs and mix them in and then bake them in a muffin pan. Ta da! Dip in mustard and you've got a quick and yummy snack to satisfy your fair food cravings. This recipe is very simple but great because you can add in whatever you want flavor wise - jalapenos to heat it up, cumin to make it smokey, maybe some herbs..whatever you like! —There'sAlwaysPie

  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 2 tablespoons butter - melted
  • 1 egg
  • 1 1/4 cups buttermilk - if the mixture is too dry you may need to add more.

I made some today and according to my husband, they were delicious. I froze the batch I made today--for his birthday--and will let you know how it came out of the freezer. Thanks for sharing!

I made these for Christmas Eve and they were quite the hit. I chopped up a half dozen cocktail sausages in the batter with the cheese then scooped them into a mini muffin pan and pressed half a cocktail sausage into each one. We dipped them into mustard or ketchup. Very nice. Thanks.

I love the idea of the cocktail sausage into each muffin! I will make for our next party, for the kids who inevitably attend. I know it will be a big hit. Thanks for sharing.
