Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces Hot dogs or smoked sausages
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Yellow cornmeal
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1 cup Milk
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
- 1 large Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Honey (optional, for drizzling)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly grease a 9-inch cast iron skillet or baking dish.
Slice each hot dog or sausage into 2-3 pieces, depending on your preference. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, yellow cornmeal, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Stir well to incorporate the dry ingredients.
In a separate medium-sized bowl, whisk together the milk, melted butter, and egg until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix just until combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
Pour half of the cornbread batter into the greased skillet or baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
Arrange the sliced hot dogs or sausages over the batter in a single layer.
Pour the remaining cornbread batter on top, gently spreading it to cover the sausages.
Place the skillet or dish in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Remove from the oven and allow the dish to cool for 5 minutes before serving.
Optionally, drizzle honey over the top for a touch of sweetness before serving. Slice into portions and enjoy!
