I used to love pogos or corn dogs when I was young. A hot dog on a stick. Any food on a stick is great. No dishes! As I’ve gotten older, frozen food out of a box just isn’t the same. For some reason it just doesn’t feel as special as it did when I was younger. I did try to make pogos on a stick before. It was fun and tasted great but a lot of work and messy. These corn dogs are actually muffins and are a great compromise. The wonderful taste of a pogo but with less mess and hassle to make. I made these ones with sausage in them rather than hot in them but I think you can put whatever you like in them. I’m betting hotdog and cheese would be a tasty combination. Another modification would be sausages rather than hot dogs. That would a be a variation on the sausage roll, but I suspect still very tastey.
