Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup yellow cornmeal
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- ½ cup milk
- ¼ cup melted butter
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 large egg
Add-ins and Glaze
- ½ cup corn kernels
- ¼ cup melted butter (for glaze)
- 2 tablespoons honey (for glaze)
Instructions
- Prep: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a mini muffin tin to prevent sticking.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the yellow cornmeal, all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Whisk these together until evenly blended.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk the milk, melted butter, honey, and egg together until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Combine Mixtures: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Then gently fold in the corn kernels to distribute them evenly throughout the batter without overmixing.
- Fill Muffin Tin: Spoon the batter into the prepared mini muffin tin cups, filling each about ¾ full to allow room for rising.
- Bake: Place in the oven and bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the poppers comes out clean, indicating they are fully cooked.
- Prepare Glaze: While the poppers bake, mix the melted butter and honey for the glaze in a small bowl until combined.
- Glaze the Poppers: Once the cornbread poppers come out of the oven and are still warm, brush the honey butter glaze generously over the top of each popper to add flavor and shine.
Notes
- Ensure not to overmix the batter after adding wet ingredients to keep the poppers light and tender.
- Using fresh or frozen corn kernels works equally well – just make sure they are thawed if frozen.
- The glaze is best applied when poppers are warm to ensure it absorbs nicely for extra moisture and sweetness.
- Mini muffin tins make perfect sized poppers, but you can use regular muffin pans adjusting baking time to about 20-25 minutes.
