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: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and grease a mini muffin tin to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the cornmeal, all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt, ensuring an even mixture.
  3. Combine wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter, honey, buttermilk, and eggs until smooth.
  4. Combine wet and dry: Pour the wet ingredient mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined, being careful not to overmix to maintain tenderness.
  5. Fill muffin tin: Spoon the batter into the prepared mini muffin tin, filling each cup about three-quarters full.
  6. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the tops are golden brown.
  7. Cool and serve: Let the cornbread poppers cool in the pan for a few minutes before removing. Serve warm for best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • For added flavor, consider folding in 1/4 cup of corn kernels or chopped jalapeños before baking.
  • Use room temperature eggs and buttermilk for better mixing and texture.
  • If you don’t have buttermilk, substitute with 1 cup milk plus 1 tablespoon lemon juice or vinegar, let sit for 5 minutes.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or freeze for longer storage.
  • Reheat poppers in a toaster oven or conventional oven to maintain crisp edges.
