Step 1

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a muffin tin with oil.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together cornmeal, flour, baking powder, and salt.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whisk together milk, egg, and melted butter. Add sugar if desired.

Step 4

Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix just until combined. Do not overmix.

Step 5

Divide the batter evenly between the greased muffin cups.

Step 6

Push a hot dog piece into the center of each muffin cup, ensuring it's halfway submerged in the batter.

Step 7

Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 8

Let cool slightly on a wire rack before serving.

Step 9

Packing for Lunch:

Step 10

You can pack them whole if your child has a lunchbox large enough.

Step 11

Alternatively, cut them in half for easier dipping.

Step 12

Wrap them individually in parchment paper or wax paper to prevent them from getting soggy.

Step 13

Include a small container of ketchup, mustard, or dipping sauce of your child's choice.

Step 14

Add a side of fresh fruit or baby carrots for a balanced lunch.
