Homemade Corn Bread Mini Corn Dogs

Ingredients:

3/4 cups yellow cornmeal
3/4 cups flour
1 tbsp sugar
1/4 tsp salt
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1 egg
2 tbsp honey
3/4 cup milk
splash of lemon juice
2 tsp vegetable oil, plus more for frying
Miniature hot dogs (or regular hot dogs cut into halves)

Instructions:

In a large, deep saucepan, pot or dutch oven, pour oil and bring to 350.

In a mixing bowl, mix the cornmeal, flour, sugar, salt and baking powder.

Add the egg, honey, milk, lemon juice, and vegetable oil. Stir until combined. Let it sit for a few minutes.

Pat dry your hotdogs. If you are using full size hotdogs, cut them in half.

Coat the hotdogs in your cornmeal mixture and drop into the oil.

Cook for a few minutes, turning with tongs to ensure that it evenly browns. When they are golden brown, remove and transfer to a paper towel lined plate. I am thinking about trying this in an air fryer, if anyone does before me, let me know how it goes!

About the recipe

These freeze really well! Plus, you can reheat them in the microwave, or the Whirlpool Convection Over-the-Range Microwave, if you are so lucky as to have one in your kitchen! I love to make a double batch of these, and freeze them in bags- the kids love to make them for snacks or to warm them in the morning before school and bring them in a thermos container.

Convection Over the Range Microwave

Whirlpool® smart home appliances are designed for the way we live today. You can use your smart device or the touchscreen on the Whirlpool Convection Over-the-Range Microwave itself, but as you do use it, you’ll find that it’s learning your family preferences and will even suggest some presets as it learns your family’s routines. Pretty neat, right?

Get the right settings every time. Scan a frozen food barcode with your smartphone or tablet and send recommended or customized cooking instructions straight to your microwave for dinner done the way your family wants it.

From customized recipes to a customized experience, the touchscreen on the Smart Microwave learns, adapts and suggests customized presets based on your family’s routines. The dynamic system tracks preferences to learn family favorites – from what families cook, when they cook and how they cook.
