Corn Dogs with a Twist

If you love making new and fun foods, keep reading! For my birthday I got a Baby Cakes cake pop maker (as stated in my last post.) After a little research on how to use it, I found a TON of cute recipes...muffins, cake, and yes, even corn dogs. So today I thought I would do a quick little how to...

I started with my preheated and lightly greased baby cakes maker and...

 

a Cornbread mix. Of course, you could always use homemade cornbread. For the sake of time, I just used this. Follow the directions on the back of the package for mixing it up. When you are done the mix should still be lumpy. It is not a smooth batter.

The next step depends on what you want your corn dogs to be like. First you microwave any type of hot dog (here I used cheese hot dogs) until they are really warm. Here is the part that is up to you...you can either cut the hot dogs into big chunks like I did OR you can cut them into little bits and mix them in with the batter. If you cut them into chunks like I did, do NOT mix it in with the batter.

Next you pour a little less than a tablespoon of batter in and place a chuck of hot dog in the middle (unless you went for the little chunks mixed into the batter). Once all the little cups are full, shut the top and wait for about 3 minutes. When 3 minutes is over, open it up and you have some delicious corn dogs!! Take them out with the little fork that comes with the Baby Cakes maker and let them cool a little on the rack! YUM!

 

 

Um...I can't figure out how to rotate the picture (yeah, I'm that hopeless with computers) so you will have to look sideways for a bit :)
