Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup yellow cornmeal
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup whole milk (or almond milk for dairy-free option)
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • Mini hot dogs or cocktail sausages (about 20 pieces), cut in half
  • For the Honey Butter Dip:
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease your mini muffin pan well or line with mini paper cups.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together yellow cornmeal, all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until evenly combined.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk whole milk, melted butter, and eggs until smooth.
  4. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and gently fold with a spatula until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
  5. Cut mini hot dogs in half (lengthwise or crosswise).
  6. Spoon about 1 tablespoon of batter into each mini muffin cup, press a piece of sausage into the center, then top with a little more batter to cover the sausage, filling each cup about 3/4 full.
  7. Bake for 15–18 minutes or until tops are golden and a toothpick inserted near the edge comes out clean.
  8. While muffins bake, mix softened butter with honey and a pinch of salt until smooth and creamy to make the honey butter dip.
  9. Let the mini corndog muffins cool for 5 minutes in the pan before carefully removing them.
  10. Serve warm with honey butter dip on the side.

Notes

Do not overmix the batter to avoid dense muffins. Use room temperature eggs and milk for better texture. Grease the pan thoroughly or use paper liners to prevent sticking. Adjust oven temperature if muffins brown too fast or stay pale. For extra crispness, brush tops with melted butter before baking. The honey butter dip can be made dairy-free by substituting butter with margarine or coconut oil.
