In my ongoing quest to find tasty, kid-friendly food appropriate for the whole family, this week I chose a fun spin on a classic corn dog. I found the recipe in "The Recipe Girl Cookbook," by Lori Lange (Houghton Mifflin Harcourt; $24.99).
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, salt and baking soda.
3. In a large bowl, combine buttermilk, milk, butter and egg. Stir in the dry ingredients and cheese just until combined. Spoon a generous tablespoonful of batter into each muffin tin. Add a few pieces of hot dog to each muffin cup.
4. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until golden brown. Let the muffins cool for 10 to 15 minutes in the pan before removing. Serve warm with desired dipping sauces.
Tip: For easy removal from the pan, slide a sharp knife between the outsides of the muffins and the pan, working the knife around the pan, then tip the pan upside down onto a large cutting board and urge the muffins out of the pan using the knife to tap the bottoms of the muffin tins. They should slide right out.
