Instructions
-
Prep Your Ingredients:
- Start by preheating your oven to 375ºF (190ºC).
- Gather all your ingredients together for easy assembly.
-
-
Mix Dry Ingredients:
- In a medium bowl, combine the yellow cornmeal, all-purpose flour, sugar, dry mustard, baking powder, and salt. Mix them together until well incorporated.
-
Create the Batter:
- To the dry mixture, add in the 1% low-fat milk, fat-free egg substitute, and melted low-fat margarine. Mix everything together until you have a smooth, lump-free batter.
-
Prepare the Muffin Cups:
- Spray 5 muffin cups generously with non-stick cooking spray. This will ensure your corn dog cupcakes come out easily.
-
Cut Hot Dogs:
- Take your pack of hot dogs and cut them into 1-inch (2.5 cm) lengths. These will be the “corn dogs” in your cupcakes.
-
Assemble the Corn Dog Cupcakes:
-
Spoon about 1/4 cup of the prepared batter into each muffin cup, filling them about halfway.
-
Next, insert about three pieces of the cut hot dog into each muffin cup, pushing them down into the batter gently.
-
-
Bake to Perfection:
- Place the filled muffin tin into your preheated oven.
- Bake the corn dog cupcakes for 20 to 30 minutes, or until they are golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
-
Serve and Enjoy!
- Once baked, let the corn dog cupcakes cool for a few minutes in the pan.
- Then, carefully remove them from the muffin cups and serve warm.
These Corn Dog Cupcakes are not only adorable but also deliciously satisfying, combining the flavors of a classic corn dog with the convenience of a handheld cupcake. 🎉 They’re perfect for kids’ lunches, parties, or even as a fun snack for the whole family. Enjoy the nostalgic taste of the fair right at home! 🌽🧁
