Mini Corny Dog Muffins

corndog

It’s Super Bowl party time!  Honestly, I don’t even know who is playing but we love football food and the Super Bowl commercials so I’m planning the menu today.  I’ll be trying this fun finger food recipe that I found on Pinterest along with some crockpot chicken tacos, salsa, guacamole, spicy roasted chickpeas and brownies for dessert.  I’ll post some of these recipes later after I make sure they are worthy.

For all of you that have been requesting a Gus post, I’ll be getting my camera out today and trying to get some pictures of my boy. 

Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup melted butter
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 cup cornmeal
  • 1 cup all purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 8-10 all-beef hot dogs, cut into 1″ bites

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Combine butter and sugar in a bowl, and whisk to combine. Add eggs and whisk to incorporate. Add buttermilk and whisk to incorporate.

2. In a separate bowl, combine baking soda, cornmeal, flour, and salt, and stir to combine. Whisk into wet ingredients in two batches.

3. Spray a mini muffin tin with non-stick spray, and spoon 1 Tablespoon of batter into each mini muffin cup. Place one hot dog bite into the middle of each cup.

4. Bake for 8-12 minutes (oven temperatures vary), or until cornbread is golden brown. Cool in mini muffin tin for 5 minutes before serving. Store leftovers in the refrigerator, and re-heat for 20-30 seconds before serving.  Serve with mustard for dipping.
