Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation

--------  ------------  -------------------------

  6       whole       wieners -- cut in half

  1       cup         Cornbread Master Mix

  8       tablespoons flour, all-purpose

1/2       teaspoon    dry mustard -- scant

  1       pinch       paprika

  2       whole       eggs -- slightly beaten

  4       tablespoons water

Mix dry ingredients together and then stir in egg and water until well blended the dough will be slightly stiff. If dough is too thick to pour add a little more water.  

Dry wieners thoroughly. 

Preheat your oven to 425 F.  Spray muffin tins with cooking spray. 

Fill each muffin tin about 1/3 full. 

Add 1/2 a wiener to each muffin tin 

Add the remaining batter evenly between the 12 cups. 

Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown 

VARIATIONS: 

If you prefer the traditional fried corn dogs then put the batter into a glass.  Leave the hot dogs whole and add a scewer to one end and dip into the batter, turning until the batter is smooth on the hot dog.  Sometimes it is better to dust the hot dog with cornstarch to make the batter stick.  Fry in vegetable oil in a heavy sauce pan until golden brown. Use tongs to put the corndogs in and out of the hot oil for safety.  

Substitute small sections of various link sausages for a variety of meals. 

Brown and crumble breakfast or bulk sausage of any type, drain and mix into the batter for a muffin type dog. 

Description:

  "A non-fried version of a fair favorite."

FOOD STORAGE IDEA: These can be frozen raw or cooked for quick individual lunches.  Freeze the raw dough and wieners in the muffin tins, then pop out once frozen.  Vacuum seal, label with both the contents and the cooking time.  Raw ones will have to be thawed first.  Cooked can be heated from the frozen state in either the oven (foil wrapped at 350) or microwave.
