Mini corn dogs (Adapted from Familyfoodfun)
Ingredients:
1 cup mini sausages or hot dogs cut into mini sausages
1/2 cup flour
1/2 cup of corn flour or golden breadcrumbs packet
1 tbsp sugar
2 tsp baking powder
3/4 cup milk
salt and pepper
500ml oil for frying
Method:
1. Heat up the oil for frying.
2. Mix together the flour, breadcrumbs, salt, sugar, baking powder, spices, and milk together until a batter forms.
3. Place in a bowl or a glass so it's easy to dip the sausages in.
4. Dip the sausages in and insert in to the oil until golden brown. (You can place them on lollypop sticks to make them easier for frying and to eat)
5. Serve with mayonnaise and chutney.

Method:
1. Heat your oven to 180°C.
2. Mix together the dry ingredients and add the tsp of lemon juice for your milk to curd.
3. Mix together the egg and the curdled milk.(you can use buttermilk if you like)
4. Mix the dry and the wet ingredients together.
5. Lastly add the shredded carrots or apples and maybe some raisins or nuts if you like. (I added nothing because I was adding a savoury topping to my muffins.)
6. Fill your paper muffin cups up until half way with the mixture and bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.
7. Add toppings by cutting the top part of the muffins off. Smear on the cream cheese and dip in shredded biltong or add smoked salmon.
