Corn Dog Muffins

I have been a blogging slacker. Fashion Friday was a no-go when my day involved me running through the grocery store parking lot in high heeled boots, pushing a cart, and dropping grapefruit as I ran (don't ask!). Although I met my goal of going to the gym last week, this week I have been a big slacker and the thought blogging about motivation made me feel like a fraud.

I did however, make something new for the Super Bowl, hence this post. They were super easy and really appealed to the child within The Husband. The recipe is from The Pioneer Woman because she is amazing and makes me want to live on a ranch.

Corn Dog Muffins
1/4 cup shortening
1 cup yellow cornmeal
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup buttermilk
1/2 cup milk
1 whole egg
1 Tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
6 whole hot dogs

1. Combine cornmeal, salt, and flour in mixing bowl. In separate bowl, combine buttermilk, milk, and egg.

2. Add baking powder and baking soda to wet ingredients then stir into dry ingredients.

3. Add 1/4 cup melted shortening, slightly cooled , stirring constantly.

4. Grease muffin tins and fill them a little more than half full.

5. Cut hot dogs into pieces, about one inch, and place in center of each muffin.

6. Bake about 10 to 12 minutes. Serve with ketchup and mustard.
