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
• 0 non-stick cooking spray
• 0 ketchup (optional, for serving)
• 0 mustard (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin with non-stick cooking spray.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

Slice each hot dog into 4 equal pieces, making 24 mini hot dog chunks in total.

Step 5

Spoon a tablespoon of the cornbread batter into each muffin cup, just enough to cover the bottom.

Step 6

Place 2 hot dog chunks in each muffin cup on top of the batter.

Step 7

Spoon more cornbread batter on top of the hot dogs, filling each muffin cup about 3/4 of the way full.

Step 8

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.

Step 9

Remove the muffin tin from the oven and allow the cupcakes to cool for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.

Step 10

Serve warm with ketchup and mustard on the side for dipping, if desired.
