These Southern-Style Honey Butter Cornbread Poppers are irresistibly moist, sweet, and buttery mini cornbread muffins perfect as a side dish, appetizer, or snack.

Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup cornmeal
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/3 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 3 tbsp honey

Honey Butter Glaze

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

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a mini muffin tin thoroughly to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
  3. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, combine the buttermilk, eggs, melted unsalted butter, and honey, whisking until smooth.
  4. Combine Batter: Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined, being careful not to overmix to keep the poppers tender.
  5. Fill the Muffin Tin: Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared mini muffin tin cups, filling each about three-quarters full to allow for rising.
  6. Bake the Poppers: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Prepare Honey Butter Glaze: While the poppers bake, whisk together the melted butter and honey in a small bowl to create the glaze.
  8. Glaze the Poppers: As soon as the poppers come out of the oven and are still warm, use a pastry brush to generously coat the tops of each popper with the honey butter glaze for a shiny, sweet finish.
  9. Serve Warm: Serve your Southern-Style Honey Butter Cornbread Poppers warm as a delightful side, appetizer, or snack to enjoy their full flavor and moist texture.

Notes

  • Ensure you do not overmix the batter; a few lumps are okay to maintain a tender texture.
  • Use fresh baking powder for the best rise and fluffiness.
  • For extra flavor, consider adding a pinch of cinnamon or a touch of chili powder to the dry ingredients.
  • These poppers are best enjoyed fresh but can be warmed up in the oven for a few minutes if served later.
