Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup cornmeal
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 cup butter, melted
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 2 eggs
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and grease a mini muffin tin thoroughly to prevent sticking.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the cornmeal, all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Stir until evenly mixed.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter, honey, buttermilk, and eggs until smooth and well incorporated.
- Combine Wet and Dry: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the poppers tender.
- Fill Muffin Tin: Spoon the batter into the mini muffin tin cups, filling each about 3/4 full for perfect portion sizes.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a popper comes out clean, signaling they are done.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the cornbread poppers to cool slightly in the tin before removing. Serve warm with extra honey butter if desired.
Notes
- For a more savory flavor, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or stir in some shredded cheddar cheese to the batter.
- Store leftover poppers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, or freeze for longer storage.
- Serving with extra honey butter or buttered honey adds a deliciously sweet touch that complements the cornbread perfectly.
