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 grease a mini muffin tin thoroughly to ensure the cornbread poppers do not stick.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cornmeal, all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Stir these together to evenly distribute all the ingredients.
  3. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter, honey, buttermilk, and eggs until the mixture is smooth and well blended.
  4. Combine Mixtures: Pour the wet ingredient mixture into the dry ingredients. Gently stir until just combined, being careful not to overmix to maintain a light texture.
  5. Fill Muffin Tin: Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared mini muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full to allow room for rising.
  6. Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes. Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center; it should come out clean.
  7. Cool and Serve: Allow the cornbread poppers to cool slightly in the muffin tin before removing and serving. This prevents them from breaking apart.

Notes

  • Do not overmix the batter; it’s okay if some lumps remain to keep the cornbread tender.
  • You can substitute honey with maple syrup for a different sweetness profile.
  • For a spicier twist, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or chopped jalapeños to the batter.
  • These mini cornbread poppers freeze well; reheat in the oven to maintain their crispy edges.
