Have you ever had days where you just want to eat like a kid? Well Keith had that urge one night and I remember corn dogs were a treat you'd find at a carnival or fair. A corn dog, for those that are not familiar, is a hot dog coated in a thick layer of cornmeal batter and deep fried in oil, although some are baked. Almost all corn dogs are served on a wooden stick. Who doesn't like meat on a stick? I thought a more fun approach would be to use my mini muffin tin and make Corn Dog Bites for my next experiment of What Micky Eats...At Home.Corn Dog Bites (Makes 24)
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- ½ cup yellow cornmeal
- ¼ teasp baking soda
- ¼ teasp salt
- ¼ cup milk
- ¼ cup vegetable oil
- 1 large egg
- 4 hot dogs, cut into 1-inch pieces
- ketchup and/or mustard, for serving
- Combine egg, milk, and oil in a bowl, and whisk to combine.
- In a separate bowl, combine baking soda, cornmeal, flour, and salt, and stir to combine.
- Whisk into wet ingredients until mixture is smooth.
- Spray a mini muffin tin with non-stick spray, and spoon 1 Tbsp of batter into each cup.
- Place one hot dog piece 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 with ketchup and/or mustard.
- Store leftovers in the refrigerator, and re-heat for 20-30 seconds before serving.
