Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup cornmeal
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup milk
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted (plus extra for brushing)
Instructions
- Mix the Batter: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cornmeal and flour. In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, honey, and melted butter. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined, being careful not to overmix to maintain a tender texture.
- Bake the Poppers: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a mini muffin pan. Spoon the batter evenly into the pan’s cavities, filling about 3/4 full. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the poppers are golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Brush with Honey Butter: While the poppers are still warm, melt additional butter and mix with honey. Generously brush this honey butter glaze over the top of each cornbread popper to add shine and extra sweetness.
Notes
- Use room temperature milk and butter for easier mixing.
- Do not overmix the batter to avoid dense poppers.
- Serve warm for the best flavor and texture.
- Can be reheated in the oven or microwave for a quick snack.
- Optional: Add a pinch of salt or baking powder for enhanced flavor and rise.
