Bake individual, moist cornbread bites in a mini muffin tin and finish them with a simple honey butter glaze.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup yellow cornmeal
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted, plus 4 tablespoons for topping
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup honey, plus 2 tablespoons for topping

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease a 24-cup mini muffin tin well.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk the buttermilk, 1/2 cup melted butter, eggs, and 1/4 cup honey until combined.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix gently 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 to 15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. While the poppers bake, prepare the honey butter topping. In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the remaining 4 tablespoons of butter. Remove from heat and stir in the remaining 2 tablespoons of honey.
  8. Let the cornbread poppers cool in the tin for 5 minutes before carefully removing them to a wire rack.
  9. Brush the warm honey butter glaze generously over the tops of the warm cornbread poppers immediately after removing them from the tin.
  10. Serve warm.

Notes

  • For a slightly more savory flavor, reduce the sugar in the batter to 2 tablespoons.
  • If you do not have buttermilk, mix 1 cup of regular milk with 1 tablespoon of white vinegar or lemon juice and let it sit for 5 minutes before using.
  • These poppers are excellent served as a side dish for chili or barbecue.
