Mini Corn Dog Bites

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Mini Corn Dog Bites.

1. Step 1

   Start by preheating your oven to a toasty 450°F (230°C) to create the perfect baking environment.

2. Step 2

   While that warms up, take each hot dog and slice it into six equal pieces, setting them aside for later.

3. Step 3

   In a mixing bowl, whisk together a beaten egg, two tablespoons of vegetable oil, a sprinkle of sugar, and a splash of milk until everything is nicely blended.

4. Step 4

   Next, add in the white vinegar, cornmeal, all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, kosher salt, and a dash of cayenne pepper.

5. Step 5

   Keep whisking until your batter is smooth and slightly thin, then let it rest for about 10 minutes—this little break helps the flavors meld beautifully.

6. Step 6

   While the batter is resting, grab two 12-cup mini muffin tins and brush them with the remaining two tablespoons of vegetable oil to ensure your treats come out easily.

7. Step 7

   Once the batter has rested, fill each muffin cup, leaving about an eighth of an inch from the top.

8. Step 8

   Now, gently press a piece of hot dog into the center of each cup, making sure it’s nestled in nicely.

9. Step 9

   Pop the tins into your preheated oven and bake for around 18 minutes, or until the tops are a lovely golden brown.

10. Step 10

    When they’re done, let them cool for at least five minutes before carefully removing them from the pan.
