I have always loved corndogs, I think. I certainly have for the last 12 years or so. Back when I was a working out of the home woman and I bought more fast food type things I would buy corndogs individually packaged at Sam's and take them to work for my lunch. People would comment on my funny lunch, but that is what I liked. Now once in awhile I see them in the store and think about buying them but my practical side always says, No! so I don't but then a couple weeks ago I had an epiphany. I will make my own. Here is how I do it and we all like them a lot except for Beatrice who told me the other day "when I have kids I won't make them eat corndog muffins". So I guess she doesn't like them.
So the recipe is:
6 Hot dogs cut in half ( the type of hotdogs you use really makes a difference to how many you need) If they are the longer type you probably can cut them into thirds)
The breading:
1cup whole wheat flour
1cup corn meal
4 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoons salt
1-2 eggs (beaten)
1 cup milk
3tablespoons oil
3 tablespoons butter
The method:
Turn on the oven to 425*.
Slice the butter evenly into 12 muffin tins. Melt the butter in the oven.
Mix dry ingredients altogether in a large bowl. Add egg, milk, and oil and mix it all up. Pour batter into prepared muffin tins about 1/3 full. Place 1/2 hotdog into each tin. Cover each hotdog with more batter.
Bake for 12- 15 minutes until golden brown and firm in the center.
Serve them with ketchup, potato wedges and spinach. A wonderful meal for sure :) You can use your favorite cornbread recipe and it will be just grand I am sure. For our family I double this recipe.
Happy baking,

Looks interesting and good. I liked Beatrice's comment......I wonder how many foods we ate that you kids thought that about...I am sure there is quite a list! :) I kinda think Luke's list would be the longest! :) (Actually, Keren and Dad think Peter and Luke would be the firmest with what their children have to eat! :)
I will have to try these. Heidi and I really like corndogs too. I am like you about seeing them in the store and then thinking I really shouldn't get them. Molly would probably agree with bea though. Loved that comment.
Those look soo good!!! Ill have to give the recipe to my mom and she and I can make them.
They do look yummy. I think all of my kids would love them as they all love hotdogs and cornbread. Bea's comment did crack me up. I know Aaron has said things like that too. But he plans on enforcing that his kids must eat 1/2 grapefruit every day.
Let me know how you like them Donna!
I don't remember feeling that way to much mom other than about some meats. But my memory could be a bit blurred!
Does Molly not like hotdogs?
I wonder why a 1/2 grapefruit every day? For weight control :)
I just found out you had a blog, so now I'm so excited to read all about your very neat ideas! I love this one! I will definitely try it sometime.
So excited to have you here Tani!
Molly likes hotdogs and she likes corn bread just not the combo.
I think pretty much the only thing I can remember thinking I would not serve my kids was liver. I mostly enjoyed your cooking mom. of coarse there were some experiments that we all voted not to do over. :)
