- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter melted
- 2 tbsp honey
For the Honey Butter Glaze:
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter softened

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.
