Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients
  • 1 cup cornmeal The star ingredient for distinctive texture.
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour Provides stability and fluffiness.
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder Acts as a leavening agent.
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt Enhances flavor.
Wet Ingredients
  • 1 cup milk Adds moisture and richness.
  • 1 large egg Bind the ingredients together.
  • 1/2 cup honey For a sweet drizzle.
  • 1/2 cup butter (melted + extra for greasing) Crucial for buttery flavor.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Grease a mini muffin pan lightly with butter.
Mixing
  1. In a large bowl, whisk together cornmeal, flour, baking powder, and salt.
  2. In another bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, and melted butter until well combined.
  3. Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined.
Baking
  1. Spoon the batter into the mini muffin pan, filling each cup about 2/3 full.
  2. Bake for about 15-20 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
Finishing Touch
  1. While the poppers are baking, mix the remaining melted butter with honey in a small bowl.
  2. Once baked, let cool slightly, remove from the pan, and drizzle with the honey butter mixture.

Notes

For best flavor, use high-quality honey and fresh ingredients. Mix just until combined to avoid dense poppers. You can experiment with spices or chocolate chips for additional flavor.
