Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup yellow cornmeal
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 1 cup milk
- 0.25 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 unit large egg
- 6 units hot dogs
- non-stick cooking spray
- ketchup (optional, for serving)
- mustard (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin with non-stick cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, melted butter, and egg. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined, being careful not to over-mix.
Slice each hot dog into 4 equal pieces, making 24 mini hot dog chunks in total.
Spoon a tablespoon of the cornbread batter into each muffin cup, just enough to cover the bottom.
Place 2 hot dog chunks in each muffin cup on top of the batter.
Spoon more cornbread batter on top of the hot dogs, filling each muffin cup about 3/4 of the way full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12–15 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean.
Remove the muffin tin from the oven and allow the cupcakes to cool for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
Serve warm with ketchup and mustard on the side for dipping, if desired.
