Ingredients

Scale

For the Cornbread Poppers:

  • 1 cup yellow cornmeal
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 cup corn kernels (fresh, frozen, or canned, drained)

For the Honey Butter Glaze:

  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 tablespoons honey

Instructions

To Make the Cornbread Poppers:

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a mini muffin tin.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In another bowl, mix the milk, melted butter, honey, and egg until well combined.
  4. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Fold in the corn kernels.
  5. Spoon the batter into the prepared mini muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full.
  6. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

To Make the Honey Butter Glaze:

  1. In a small bowl, mix together the melted butter and honey until smooth.
  2. Brush the glaze over the warm cornbread poppers right after they come out of the oven.

To Serve:
Serve warm with extra honey butter on the side for dipping or drizzling.

Notes

  • You can make these cornbread poppers ahead of time and store them in an airtight container. Reheat in the oven before serving for that fresh, warm taste.
  • If you prefer a more savory twist, you can skip the honey butter glaze and serve them with a spicy butter or dipping sauce.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, try adding a pinch of cayenne pepper or garlic powder to the cornbread batter.
  • These poppers can be made ahead and reheated for a quick, delicious snack or side dish.
