Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup cornmeal
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
Wet Ingredients
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup milk
Instructions
- Mix the Batter: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cornmeal and flour. In a separate bowl, whisk together the honey, melted butter, and milk until well blended. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined, being careful not to overmix to keep the batter light.
- Scoop into Mini Molds: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a mini muffin or cornbread popper mold. Using a spoon or small cookie scoop, evenly distribute the batter into the mini molds, filling each about three-quarters full.
- Bake until Golden: Place the mold in the preheated oven and bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the poppers are golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Remove from oven and let cool slightly before removing from molds.
Notes
- For extra flavor, add a teaspoon of baking powder and a pinch of salt to the dry ingredients.
- Serve warm with additional honey butter or maple syrup for dipping.
- These poppers can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days at room temperature.
- To reheat, warm them in a 350°F (175°C) oven for 5 minutes or microwave briefly.
