Bite-sized cornbread poppers glazed with honey butter, perfect for parties, holidays, or game days.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup yellow cornmeal
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/4 cup honey

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a mini muffin tin or line with mini muffin liners.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, 1/2 cup melted butter, and eggs.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Spoon the batter into the prepared mini muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
  6. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. While the cornbread bakes, prepare the honey butter glaze. In a small bowl, cream together the 1/2 cup softened butter and 1/4 cup honey until smooth.
  8. Once the cornbread poppers are baked, let them cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
  9. While the poppers are still warm, brush them generously with the honey butter glaze.
  10. Serve warm.

Notes

  • For a make-ahead appetizer, bake the cornbread poppers and store them in an airtight container at room temperature. Reheat gently before glazing.
  • You can adjust the sweetness of the glaze by adding more or less honey.
  • These poppers are great for meal planning and can be a kid-friendly snack.
