This recipe is a disaster. The batter is too runny and doesn't hold at all to the hot dogs. After you coat them and put them in the oven, the batter just slides right off. I will say however that the batter itself actually tasted really good- we ended up pouring it in muffin tins and had some good cornbread muffins. As for the corndogs, I think there's a reason why they are normally deep fried.

The taste was really good. I loved the cornbread although it was a little dry. The cumin and chili powder are a really nice touch. Next time I will add onions or scallions (I was all out). Thanks for a fun new recipe!
