Corndog Muffins

While looking for lunch ideas, I decided to try out Money Saving Mom's post about corndog muffins.  I didn't have honey on hand to make her cornbread recipie, so this is what I did.

Cornbread:
1 c cornmeal
1 c flour
1/2 c sugar (or decrease to 1/4 for less sweet.  I put in an amount somewhere inbetween.)
4 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
2 eggs
1 c milk
1/4 c vegetable oil

Combine all ingredients (just enough so it's all mixed).

Then I poured it in glops in 18 *greased* muffin tins.  I cut up 5 hot dogs into 1/4" circles and jabbed about 4 hotdog pieces in each muffin tin.  (Next time, I might try doing the pour some batter in each, add the hotdogs, add more cornbread batter on top.  But my cornbread batter gets "airy" from the baking powder fairly quickly, so I might not...)

Bake at 400 degrees for 20-25 minutes.

We ate about 3 each and then I put the other 12 in a gallon freezer bag for lunches.  This will be a repeat for us!  Greg wasn't sure he had ever had a corn dog, but these passed his critique.:)
