Well, I don't have much of an explanation. Except this:
-Having my second child
-Sleep deprivation
-Buying a new house and moving
-Busy with church responsibilities
-And mostly eating frozen Costco foods for the past 8.5 months
I'm not promising that I'm back in full force. But I definitely didn't think that CORN DOGS would be my debut post. But, these were really fun and actually were really good. I DO NOT like corndogs. At all. But these were tasty! Honestly. I loved the cream cheese and cheddar in them. I saw the idea on Rachael Ray and I knew I had to try it. They were a hit!
Let me know if you try them.
{Waffle Corn Dogs}
Corn Bread Batter:
1 1/4 c. flour
3/4 c. corn meal
1/4 c. sugar
2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1 c. milk
1/4 c. vegetable oil
1 egg
4 oz. cream cheese, cut into small cubes
1/2 c. sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
1/2 tsp. black pepper
1 pkg. hot dogs
Preheat waffle iron to medium-high heat.
Mix flour, corn meal, sugar, baking powder, and salt together. Add milk, oil and egg. Mix throroughly. Fold in cream cheese, cheddar cheese, and black pepper.
Cut hot dogs in half length-wise, so they're flat on one side. Skewer them with a wooden skewer. And place them on the waffle iron, two per square, with skewers hanging out the edges. Your waffle iron will look like a spider with 4 skewers hanging out each side. Grill the hot dogs for a few minutes (maybe about 5).
Lift the hot dogs and spoon batter on waffle iron. Replace hot dogs and spoon A LITTLE more batter over each dog. Grill until corn bread is golden brown.
You'll need to do two batches of these. So you'll have 16 "halves" total.
