  • Even Filling: To ensure uniform baking and perfect cornbread texture, fill each mini muffin cup halfway with enough batter before adding the hot dog piece.
  • Check for Doneness: Bake until the tops are golden brown. If unsure, insert a toothpick into the middle of a muffin; it should come out clean.
  • Cooling: Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes. This makes it easier to remove them without breaking.
