Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Yellow cornmeal
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Whole milk
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
- 1 large Egg
- 24 pieces Mini sausages (cocktail-sized)
- Nonstick cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Spray a mini muffin tin with nonstick cooking spray and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, yellow cornmeal, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until evenly combined.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the milk, melted butter, and egg until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the batter into each well of the prepared mini muffin tin.
Insert one mini sausage vertically into the center of each muffin batter-filled well, pressing it down gently until it is partially submerged.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the muffins are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the cornbread (not the sausage) comes out clean.
Remove the muffin tin from the oven and allow the Muffin Weenies to cool in the pan for 5 minutes.
Carefully use a butter knife to loosen the muffins from the tin and transfer them to a cooling rack or serving plate.
Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauces, such as ketchup, mustard, or barbecue sauce!
