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 oven and prepare pan: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and grease a mini muffin tin thoroughly to prevent sticking.
  2. Combine dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together cornmeal, all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until evenly mixed.
  3. Mix wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, blend melted butter, honey, buttermilk, and eggs until smooth and well incorporated.
  4. Combine wet and dry: Pour the wet ingredient mixture into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined, being careful not to overmix to keep the batter light.
  5. Fill muffin tin: Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared mini muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full to allow space for rising.
  6. Bake: Place in the oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean and edges turn golden brown.
  7. Cool and serve: Let the cornbread poppers cool slightly in the tin before removing and serving to enjoy their perfect, tender texture.

Notes

  • Do not overmix the batter to avoid dense poppers; a few lumps are okay.
  • Use fresh baking powder to ensure the poppers rise well.
  • For extra flavor, try adding a pinch of cinnamon or a handful of corn kernels to the batter.
  • Serves great warm with additional honey butter or as a side to chili or soup.
  • Can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for 2 days or refrigerated up to 5 days.
