What do these Corndog Bites and ferris wheels have in common? They both remind us of the local county fair!

Ingredients
Cheesy Corndog Bites
1 cup
all-purpose flour
1 1/4 cup
yellow cornmeal
2 tbsp
granulated sugar
1 1/2 tsp
baking soda
1 tsp
salt
1/2 tsp
chili powder
1/2 tsp
pepper
2/3 cup
buttermilk, room temperature
2 large
eggs, room temperature
1/3 cup
Mirage Margarine, melted and cooled
1 cup
shredded Monterey or pepper jack cheese
4
hot dogs, cut into 1/2" squares
Directions
Preheat oven to 400°F. Grease mini-muffin tin with Mirage Margarine, or line tin with paper liners.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking soda, salt, chili powder, and pepper.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk and eggs.
Add the buttermilk mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring until just mixed. Stir in the melted Mirage Margarine.
Fold in the cheese and the hot dog pieces.
Divide batter among the prepared mini muffin tin, using one heaping spoonful of batter to fill each cup 3/4 of the way full.
Bake until muffins are golden brown, about 10 – 12 minutes. Remove and cool for 15 minutes. Take the muffins out of the pan and place on a rack to cool completely.
Serve with your favourite corn dog condiments.
Baker’s Notes
- If desired, use veggie dogs or sausage instead of hot dogs.
- If you like spice, add in a finely chopped jalapeño!
