Ingredients

1 cup yellow cornmeal

½ cup all-purpose flour

¼ cup granulated sugar

1 tablespoon baking powder

½ teaspoon salt

1 cup milk

¼ cup unsalted butter, melted

2 tablespoons honey

1 large egg

2 tablespoons honey

2 tablespoons butter, melted


Directions

1.

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly grease a mini muffin pan with cooking spray or oil.

2.

In a large mixing bowl, combine cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt using a whisk or fork to blend evenly.

3.

In a separate bowl, whisk together milk, melted butter, honey, and egg until well combined and smooth.

4.

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently using a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined.

5.

Spoon the batter into the prepared mini muffin pan, filling each cup almost to the top.

6.

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.

7.

While the cornbread poppers are baking, prepare the glaze by mixing 2 tablespoons of honey with 2 tablespoons of melted butter.

8.

Remove the poppers from the oven and immediately brush them with the prepared honey butter glaze for a shiny finish.

9.

Allow the poppers to cool in the pan for a few minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
