Bite-sized, savory mini corn dog muffins with a sweet honey butter glaze, perfect for parties and quick snacks.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (120g) cornmeal, preferably stone-ground
  • 1 cup (125g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup (240ml) milk, whole or 2% recommended
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • About 20 mini cocktail sausages, sliced in half (mild pork sausage preferred)
  • ¼ cup (56g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • Optional: pinch of cinnamon or cayenne pepper for glaze

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease the mini muffin pan lightly with oil or non-stick spray.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together cornmeal, all-purpose flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, beat the egg with milk and vegetable oil until fully blended.
  4. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined; a few lumps are okay.
  5. Fold in the sliced mini cocktail sausages evenly throughout the batter.
  6. Spoon batter into the muffin pan, filling each cup about ¾ full (about 2 tablespoons per cup).
  7. Bake for 15-18 minutes until golden on top and firm to the touch; a toothpick inserted in the batter should come out mostly clean.
  8. While muffins bake, melt the softened butter gently and stir in honey until smooth; add cinnamon or cayenne if desired.
  9. Right out of the oven, brush the warm muffins generously with the honey butter glaze.
  10. Let muffins rest in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool slightly.

Notes

Do not overmix the batter to avoid tough muffins. Use room temperature eggs and milk for better rise. Brush glaze while muffins are warm to prevent sogginess. For gluten-free, substitute all-purpose flour with gluten-free baking flour. For dairy-free glaze, use coconut oil and maple syrup instead of butter and honey.
