Honey Butter Cornbread Poppers

Golden cornbread bites brushed with honey butter—soft inside, crisp on the edges, and perfectly poppable. Great as a side dish, appetizer, or party snack.

Ingredients

1 cup yellow cornmeal

1 cup all-purpose flour

¼ cup sugar

1 tbsp baking powder

½ tsp salt

1 cup buttermilk

2 large eggs

¼ cup unsalted butter, melted (plus more for brushing)

2 tbsp honey (plus more for drizzle)

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease a mini muffin pan.

Mix dry ingredients: In a bowl, whisk cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.

Mix wet ingredients: In another bowl, whisk buttermilk, eggs, melted butter, and honey.

Combine: Stir wet mixture into dry until just combined (don’t overmix).

Bake: Spoon batter into mini muffin cups, filling about ¾ full. Bake 10–12 minutes, until golden and a toothpick comes out clean.

Honey butter glaze: While warm, brush poppers with melted butter mixed with extra honey.

Serve: Best warm, with an extra drizzle of honey if you want them sweeter.
