Vickys Corndog Muffins

• 150 grams yellow cornmeal
• 70 grams gluten-free / plain flour
• 1 tsp salt
• 360 ml coconut milk (or alternative)
• 1 tbsp white vinegar
• 1 tbsp ground flaxseed mixed with 3tbsp water and left to sit to become gelatinous (replaces 1 egg)
• 1 tbsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp baking soda / bicarb of soda
• 112 grams sunflower spread / butter, melted
• 4 or 5 gluten-free hotdogs (or for a vegan option look up my seitan hotdog recipe listed in my profile although of course it's not gluten-free)
• 2 tbsp maple syrup - optional

1. Preheat the oven to gas 7 / 220C / 425F and grease or line some regular muffin trays.
2. You can make mini muffins too by using gas 6 / 200 C / 400F
3. Combine the corn meal, flour and salt in a mixing bowl.
4. In a separate bowl, combine the milk and vinegar and let stand for 5 minutes before adding the flax mixture
5. Add the baking powder and baking soda to the wet ingredients, then stir that mixture into the dry ingredients.
6. Let the melted butter cool slightly then add it in stirring constantly.
7. Fill the muffin tins a little more than half full with batter
8. Cut a hot dog into pieces (small rounds if using mini muffin tins, 1 inch slices if using larger muffin tins).
9. Push a piece of hotdog into the centre of each muffin batter
10. Bake until the cornbread is done, 12 - 15 minutes for regular sized, around 10 - 12 minutes for mini sized.
11. Let cool in the tin for 10 minutes then remove from the and serve with ketchup and mustard or sour cream, whatever you prefer!
12. You can add chopped bacon, onion, jalepenos or grated cheese if you like, or chop the hotdogs into smaller pieces and mix through the batter
13. Or go the other way and add a couple spoons of brown sugar or maple syrup for a sweet corndog
14. If you bake the mini ones they're great as 'jaundiced eyeballs' for halloween as the hotdog piece will rise to the top of the batter
15. Also good instead of hotdogs are some baked beans, mini meatballs and mac & cheese!
