And another fabulous fun finger food item for the camp wrap up!  This one is from a blog called Iowa Girl Eats.  Just a head’s up, this recipe made a lot of these little suckers!  They were really good and I don’t even like corn dogs!

1/2 cup melted butter (or 1/4 cup melted butter and 1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce)

1/2 cup sugar

2 eggs

1 cup buttermilk

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1 cup cornmeal

1 cup flour

1/2 teaspoon salt

8 – 10 hot dogs, cut into 1″ bites (my mini muffin pan must be smaller than hers because 1″ was way too big so I did about 1/2″ slices)

1  Preheat oven to 375.  Combine butter and sugar in bowl and whisk to combine.  Add eggs and whisk to incorporate.  Add buttermilk and whisk again.

2  In a separate bowl, combined baking soda, cornmeal, flour and salt and stir to combine.  Whisk dry ingredients into wet ingredients in 2 batches.

3  Spray mini muffin pan with non stick spray and spoon 1 tablespoon of batter into each cup.  Place 1 hot dog bite into the middle of each cup.

4  Bake for 8 – 12 minutes or until cornbread is golden brown.  Cool in pans for 5 minutes before removing.  Store leftovers in fridge.
