Ingredients

  • Nonstick cooking spray

  • ¾ cup all-purpose flour

  • cup yellow cornmeal

  • 1 tablespoon sugar or sugar substitute equivalent to 1 tablespoon sugar (see Tip)

  • 1 teaspoon baking powder

  • ¼ teaspoon dry mustard

  • teaspoon salt

  • cup fat-free milk

  • 1 egg, lightly beaten

  • 1 teaspoon canola oil

  • 6 wooden skewers

  • 6 reduced-fat frankfurters, patted dry

  • 1 tablespoon Yellow mustard

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly coat with cooking spray; set aside. For batter, in a medium bowl, stir together flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, dry mustard, and salt. In a small bowl, combine milk, egg, and oil. Add milk mixture to flour mixture; mix just until combined (mixture will be thick).

  2. Insert wooden skewers into ends of the frankfurters. Holding on to skewer, rotate each frankfurter over bowl and spread batter to coat frankfurter evenly. Place on prepared baking sheet. Bake for 14 to 16 minutes or until golden brown. If desired, serve with yellow mustard.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.

* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
