Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup yellow cornmeal
  • 1.25 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 2 large eggs
  • 0.25 cup melted butter
  • 0.25 cup honey
  • 0.25 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • to taste additional honey for drizzling on top

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a mini muffin tin or line with mini muffin liners for easy removal.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, yellow cornmeal, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
  3. In another bowl, mix together the milk, eggs, melted butter, and 1/4 cup honey until smooth.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined (do not overmix).
  5. Using a tablespoon, scoop the cornbread batter into each mini muffin cup, filling about 3/4 full.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean and the tops are golden.
  7. While the poppers are baking, prepare the honey butter by mixing the softened butter and remaining honey in a small bowl until well blended and creamy.
  8. Once the cornbread poppers are done baking, let them cool for a few minutes before gently removing them from the muffin tin.
  9. Serve warm with a generous dollop of honey butter on top. Drizzle additional honey over the poppers if desired.
