Ingredients

• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 1 cup Yellow cornmeal
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1 cup Whole milk
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
• 1 large Egg
• 24 pieces Mini sausages (cocktail-sized)
• 0 Nonstick cooking spray

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Spray a mini muffin tin with nonstick cooking spray and set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, yellow cornmeal, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until evenly combined.

Step 4

In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the milk, melted butter, and egg until smooth.

Step 5

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.

Step 6

Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the batter into each well of the prepared mini muffin tin.

Step 7

Insert one mini sausage vertically into the center of each muffin batter-filled well, pressing it down gently until it is partially submerged.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the muffins are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the cornbread (not the sausage) comes out clean.

Step 9

Remove the muffin tin from the oven and allow the Muffin Weenies to cool in the pan for 5 minutes.

Step 10

Carefully use a butter knife to loosen the muffins from the tin and transfer them to a cooling rack or serving plate.

Step 11

Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauces, such as ketchup, mustard, or barbecue sauce!
