Ingredients
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
- Preheat oven and prepare pan: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and grease a mini muffin tin thoroughly to prevent sticking.
- Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until evenly combined.
- Combine wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix the melted butter, honey, buttermilk, and eggs until smooth and well blended.
- Combine wet and dry mixtures: Pour the wet ingredient mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined, being careful not to overmix to maintain a light texture.
- Fill the muffin tin: Spoon the batter into the prepared mini muffin tin, filling each cup about three-quarters full to allow room for rising.
- Bake the poppers: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a popper comes out clean.
- Cool and serve: Remove the cornbread poppers from the oven and allow them to cool slightly before serving to enjoy the perfect warmth and texture.
Notes
- Do not overmix the batter to keep the poppers light and fluffy.
- Make sure to grease the muffin tin well or use mini muffin liners for easy removal.
- Baking time may vary slightly depending on your oven; check doneness with a toothpick.
- For extra flavor, optionally add a pinch of cinnamon or shredded cheese to the batter.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or freeze for longer storage.
