Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup yellow cornmeal
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour (or almond flour for gluten-free)
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup whole milk (room temperature; dairy-free milk works too)
  • 1 large egg (room temperature)
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 8–10 mini hot dogs or cocktail sausages, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • For the Honey Butter Dip:
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease your mini muffin tin generously with butter or non-stick spray.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together milk, egg, and melted butter until smooth.
  4. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and fold gently until just combined; do not overmix.
  5. Cut mini hot dogs into 1 to 1.5 inch pieces.
  6. Spoon batter into each mini muffin cup about one-third full, place a hot dog piece in the center, then cover with more batter until about 3/4 full.
  7. Bake for 15-18 minutes until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the batter comes out clean.
  8. While baking, beat softened butter, honey, and salt together until creamy for the honey butter dip.
  9. Let muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack. Serve warm with honey butter dip.

Notes

Do not overmix the batter to keep muffins tender. Use room temperature milk and egg for even baking. Grease muffin tin well or use paper liners to prevent sticking. For extra crunch, broil muffins 1-2 minutes after baking. Batter can be prepared ahead and refrigerated. Use mini or cocktail-sized hot dogs for best results. Dairy-free substitutions include coconut oil for butter.
