Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup yellow cornmeal
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour blend)
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup whole milk (room temperature; almond or oat milk for dairy-free)
  • 2 large eggs (room temperature)
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 12 mini hot dogs or cocktail sausages, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened (for honey butter)
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • Pinch of salt (for honey butter)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 12-cup mini muffin tin or spray with non-stick cooking spray.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk milk, eggs, and melted butter until smooth.
  4. Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and gently fold together with a spatula until just combined. Batter should be thick but scoopable.
  5. Cut mini hot dogs into 1-inch pieces. Optionally, sauté briefly for extra flavor.
  6. Spoon about 1 tablespoon of batter into each mini muffin cup, place a piece of hot dog in the center, then cover with another tablespoon of batter, fully enveloping the hot dog.
  7. Bake for 15-18 minutes until tops are golden and a toothpick inserted (avoiding hot dog) comes out clean.
  8. While baking, mix softened butter, honey, and a pinch of salt until smooth to make honey butter.
  9. Let muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack. Brush warm muffins generously with honey butter.

Notes

Use room temperature eggs and milk for best batter consistency. Avoid overmixing to keep muffins tender. Grease muffin tin well to prevent sticking. Honey butter can be replaced with maple or cinnamon butter. For a crispier crust, broil for 1 minute at the end, watching closely.
