Guilt-free Baked Mini Corn Dog Bites/2smart pointes

Ingredients
1⅛ cups buttermilk

2 eggs, I like using Egg-land Best eggs, see healthy benefit

2 tablespoons pickle relish

2 tablespoon prepared yellow mustard or spicy brown mustard

2 dashes Tabasco sauce

1¼ cups all-purpose flour

1 cup cornmeal

1 tablespoon sugar

1 teaspoon baking powder

1 teaspoon salt

½ teaspoon baking soda

1 (1 lb.) pkg. Hebrew National 97% fat-free all-beef hot dogs, see shopping tip

Cooking spray, I like using olive oil spray
Directions

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Coat a baking pan with cooking spray.




2. Combine buttermilk, eggs, relish, mustard and Tabasco in a bowl.

3. In a large bowl, using a whisk, mix together flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, salt and baking soda. Stir buttermilk mixture into cornmeal mixture to combine; let stand about 5 minutes until mixture is thick. Using a whisk again, whisk mixture until smooth; transfer to a tall measuring cup.

4. Cut each hot dog into three pieces crosswise. Dip dogs into batter, coating entirely. It gets a little messy but just make sure they are all fully coated. You might need to use your finger to smear the batter around. It doesn’t matter if they don’t look perfectly shaped. Mine don’t but still taste great.

5. Place corn dogs on baking pan. Spray the corn dogs with cooking spray.

6. Bake for 15 minutes on 1 side, turn over, coat again with cooking spray and bake an additional 10-15 minutes.

7. Place a toothpick in each. Serve at once with ketchup and mustard on the side.
