Ingredients
Scale
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 cup yellow cornmeal
½ cup granulated sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon baking soda
1 cup buttermilk
½ cup unsalted butter, melted
2 large eggs
¼ cup honey
½ cup butter, softened (for honey butter glaze)
¼ cup honey (for honey butter glaze)
1 tablespoon milk (for honey butter glaze)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease a mini muffin tin.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, salt, and baking soda.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, melted butter, eggs, and ¼ cup honey.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
Spoon the batter into the prepared mini muffin tin, filling each cup about two-thirds full.
Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
While the cornbread poppers are baking, prepare the honey butter glaze. In a small bowl, cream together the softened butter, ¼ cup honey, and 1 tablespoon milk until smooth.
Once the cornbread poppers are out of the oven, let them cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
Brush the warm cornbread poppers generously with the honey butter glaze.
Serve warm.
Notes
These poppers can be made ahead and reheated.
For a savory twist, reduce the sugar in the cornbread batter to 2 tablespoons and omit the honey butter glaze.
