Ingredients
1 cup yellow cornmeal
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 tbsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup buttermilk
2 large eggs
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
2 tbsp honey
For the Honey Butter Glaze:
1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
2 tbsp honey
Instructions
Mix the Dry Ingredients:
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
Combine Wet Ingredients:
In a separate bowl, whisk the buttermilk, eggs, melted butter, and honey until well combined.
Prepare the Batter:
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Avoid overmixing for a light texture.
Shape the Poppers:
Using a spoon or small scoop, drop small portions of the batter onto a parchment-lined baking sheet or into a mini muffin tin.
Bake:
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and bake the poppers for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Make the Glaze:
While the poppers bake, mix the softened butter and honey together until smooth.
Glaze and Serve:
Once the poppers are out of the oven, brush them generously with the honey butter glaze. Serve warm for the best flavor.
