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 prevent sticking during baking.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cornmeal, all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Stir these ingredients together until they are evenly distributed.
  3. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter, honey, buttermilk, and eggs until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
  4. Combine Mixtures: Gradually pour the wet ingredient mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined; avoid overmixing to ensure tender cornbread poppers.
  5. Fill Muffin Tin: Using a spoon, fill each cup of the mini muffin tin about three-quarters full with the batter, allowing space for the poppers to rise while baking.
  6. Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes. Check doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center of a popper; it should come out clean when they are fully baked.
  7. Cool and Serve: Remove the cornbread poppers from the oven and let them cool slightly in the tin before transferring to a wire rack or serving plate. Enjoy them warm for the best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Do not overmix the batter; it can make the cornbread tough.
  • Ensure your baking powder is fresh to help the poppers rise properly.
  • Make sure to grease the mini muffin tin well to prevent sticking.
  • These poppers are delicious served warm with additional honey or butter.
  • You can substitute buttermilk with regular milk mixed with 1 tablespoon lemon juice or vinegar left to sit for 5 minutes.
