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

  1. Preheat and prepare tin: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and grease a mini muffin tin to prevent the poppers from sticking.
  2. Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the cornmeal, all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt, ensuring these are evenly mixed for consistent flavor and texture.
  3. Combine wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter, honey, buttermilk, and eggs to create a smooth and well-blended wet mixture.
  4. Combine wet and dry: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined to avoid overmixing, which could make the poppers tough.
  5. Fill muffin tin: Spoon the batter into the greased mini muffin tin cups, filling each about 3/4 full to allow room for rising.
  6. Bake: Place the muffin tin in the oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a popper comes out clean, indicating doneness.
  7. Cool and serve: Remove from the oven and allow the cornbread poppers to cool slightly before serving. Optionally, serve with extra honey butter for added flavor.

Notes

  • For a more savory twist, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or shredded cheddar cheese to the batter before baking.
  • Store leftover cornbread poppers in an airtight container for up to 2 days, or freeze them for longer storage to maintain freshness.
  • Serving with extra honey butter enhances the sweet and buttery flavor, making them even more delicious.
