I love these corn dog muffins, and they satisfy the kid in me. You are in a hurry and will appreciate that the batter is Jiffy cornbread mix, and takes 20 minutes from bowl to plate. Great for football party appetizers. Here's my homemade corn muffin recipe, if you don't want to use the mix.
two (8.5oz) pkgs cornbread mix 2 TBS homemade brown sugar, packed 2 eggs 1-1/2 cups milk 1 cup cheddar cheese, grated 9 hot dogs, cut in pieces
PREHEAT oven to 400 degrees. Lightly grease large muffin tin.
Stir together the cornbread mix and the brown sugar in a large bowl. Whisk the eggs and milk in a small bowl until smooth. Fold the eggs and cheese into the dry mixture until moistened. Spoon mixture into muffin tins with a dab of batter first, then hot dog pieces, then batter, etc until 2/3 full.
Bake in a preheated oven 14 to 18 minutes, or until golden brown.
PREHEAT oven to 400 degrees. Grease or use paper lined muffin tin; set aside.
In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Combine eggs, milk, oil and strawberry extract. Stir into the dry ingredients and mix JUST until incorporated (there will be lumps). Fold in quartered strawberries.
Spoon into greased muffin tins and sprinkle tops lightly with white sugar. Bake for 18 to 20 minutes or until golden brown.
Sprinkle lightly with powdered sugar and top with a dollop of cream cheese frosting. Nestle a halved strawberry on top and smile. You just created a "good thing."
