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 lightly grease a mini muffin tin to ensure the cornbread poppers don’t stick.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together cornmeal, all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until evenly combined.
  3. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, combine the melted butter, honey, buttermilk, and eggs, mixing well to create a smooth liquid mixture.
  4. Combine Mixtures: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined without overmixing, to keep the texture light and tender.
  5. Fill Muffin Tin: Spoon the batter into the prepared mini muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full to allow room for rising.
  6. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the poppers comes out clean, indicating they are fully cooked.
  7. Cool and Serve: Allow the cornbread poppers to cool slightly in the pan before removing and serving warm, best enjoyed fresh.

Notes

  • Do not overmix the batter, as it can result in dense cornbread poppers.
  • For a dairy-free version, substitute buttermilk with a mixture of non-dairy milk and lemon juice or vinegar.
  • You can add a pinch of cayenne or some chopped jalapeños for a spicy kick.
  • These poppers freeze well; reheat in the oven for best texture.
  • Mini muffin tins yield about 24 poppers depending on size.
