Honey Butter Cornbread Poppers (Printable Version)

Golden cornbread poppers combine honey and butter for a soft, flavorful bite-sized treat.

# Ingredients:

→ Dry Ingredients

01 - 120 grams cornmeal
02 - 120 grams all-purpose flour
03 - 50 grams granulated sugar
04 - 10 grams baking powder
05 - 3 grams salt

→ Wet Ingredients

06 - 60 grams unsalted butter, melted
07 - 45 grams honey
08 - 180 milliliters buttermilk
09 - 2 large eggs

# Steps:

01 - Preheat the oven to 200°C and grease a mini muffin tin to prevent sticking.
02 - In a large bowl, whisk together cornmeal, all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until evenly mixed.
03 - In a separate bowl, whisk melted butter, honey, buttermilk, and eggs until smooth.
04 - Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined, avoiding overmixing to maintain a light texture.
05 - Spoon the batter into the mini muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full to allow room for rising.
06 - Bake for 12 to 15 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center emerges clean and the tops turn golden brown.
07 - Let the poppers cool slightly in the tin before removing. Serve warm or at room temperature.

# Notes:

01 - Avoid overmixing the batter to keep the poppers fluffy and tender.
02 - Check doneness beginning at 12 minutes to prevent overbaking.
03 - Brush with melted butter before baking for a crispier exterior.
