Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup yellow cornmeal
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- ½ tsp salt
- 2 tbsp granulated sugar
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
- ¼ cup honey
- 1 cup whole milk
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Additional 3 tbsp butter and 2 tbsp honey for glaze
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a mini muffin pan thoroughly or line with mini paper liners.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together cornmeal, flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar until evenly combined.
- In a separate large bowl, whisk together milk, eggs, vanilla, melted butter, and honey until smooth.
- Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
- Spoon the batter into the prepared mini muffin pan, filling each cavity about two-thirds full. Use a small cookie scoop for uniform portions if desired.
- Bake for 10–12 minutes, until tops are lightly golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- While baking, melt 3 tbsp butter and 2 tbsp honey together in a small saucepan or microwave-safe bowl. Stir until well combined.
- As soon as poppers come out of the oven, brush generously with the warm honey butter glaze.
- Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.
Notes
Optional: Add shredded cheese, chopped chicken ham, or corn kernels to the batter for extra flavor.
For a spicy twist, add a pinch of chili flakes to the glaze.
These poppers can be frozen and reheated in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 5–7 minutes.
