Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Southwestern Corn Pup Muffins with Fiesta Dipping Sauce.
Step 1
Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 400°F (200°C). Prepare two 12-cup muffin tins by either spraying them with nonstick cooking spray or lining them with cheerful paper liners. This will ensure your muffins pop out easily after baking!
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the yellow cornmeal, all-purpose flour, white sugar, baking powder, salt, chili powder, ground cumin, and garlic powder. Give it a good stir to mix everything together. Now, create a little well in the center of your dry ingredients and pour in the milk, beaten egg, and canola oil. Stir gently until everything is well blended, and then fold in the shredded Monterey Jack cheese for that creamy goodness.
Step 3
Spoon a small amount of the batter into the bottom of each muffin cup, just enough to cover the base. Next, take a piece of hot dog and place it right on top of the batter. Don’t be shy—this is where the fun begins! Now, fill each cup with more batter until the hot dog pieces are completely covered.
Step 4
Pop those muffin tins into your preheated oven and bake for about 10 to 12 minutes. Keep an eye on them; they should turn a lovely golden brown and spring back when you gently press them. Once done, let them cool slightly before removing them from the tins. They’re best enjoyed warm!
Step 5
While your muffins are cooling, let’s whip up the Fiesta Dipping Sauce. In a small bowl, whisk together sour cream, mayonnaise, and taco seasoning mix until it’s smooth and creamy. This zesty sauce is the perfect companion for your muffins, adding a delightful kick! Serve it up immediately alongside your warm muffins.
