Homemade Corn Dogs

I try to make as much food for my family as possible, but let's get real. Sometimes work is too cray cray and the ease and speed of packaged dinners wins in the nightly debate of what to eat. That being said, whenever I see a recipe that I can easily use to replace a staple in our family, I'm on it like white on rice! My friend Sarah posted this homemade corn dog recipe last week and I knew the boys would love them. They are so much healthier than the boxed corn dogs I buy Drew and I love that we can use turkey dogs as opposed to the fatty hot dogs within the boxed kind.

Ingredients: 

1-8.5 oz. box of Jiffy Corn Muffin Mix

1 egg, slightly beaten

1/3 cup skim milk

1 TBS honey

3 Oscar Mayer Turkey Hot dogs, each cut into 4 pieces 

Directions:

1. Spray the wells of a mini muffin pan with cooking spray.  Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. 

2.  In a med bowl, combine the mix, egg, honey and skim milk.  Allow to sit for 3 - 4 min.  Stir batter.  

3.  Fill each mini muffin well with about 1/2 TBS batter.  Place a piece of hot dog into each well, pressing in.  

4. Top each hot dog with about a tsp. of batter, covering hot dog.  

5.  Bake in oven for 10 - 15 min.  or until golden brown.  Allow to cool in pan for 5 min. before removing to platter. 

Like Sarah, I didn't use a mini muffin pan, rather a regular sized one and they still came out delish. One little box of jiffy corn mix only made about 10 of these, so I'd recommend doubling the recipe to feed a family.

Enjoy!
