  • Total Time: 25 minutes
  • Yield: 24 poppers

Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup yellow cornmeal
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • ½ cup milk
  • ¼ cup melted butter
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 large egg
  • ½ cup corn kernels

Glaze

  • ¼ cup melted butter
  • 2 tablespoons honey

Instructions

  1. Prep: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a mini muffin tin thoroughly to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine 1 cup yellow cornmeal, ½ cup all-purpose flour, ¼ cup granulated sugar, 2 teaspoons baking powder, and ½ teaspoon salt. Stir to evenly distribute ingredients.
  3. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together ½ cup milk, ¼ cup melted butter, 2 tablespoons honey, and 1 large egg until the mixture is smooth and homogenous.
  4. Combine Wet and Dry: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix to keep the batter light. Then fold in ½ cup corn kernels to add texture and sweetness.
  5. Fill Muffin Tin: Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared mini muffin tin cups, filling each about ¾ full to allow room for rising during baking.
  6. Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes. The poppers are done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the tops are golden.
  7. Prepare Glaze: While the poppers bake, mix together ¼ cup melted butter and 2 tablespoons honey in a small bowl.
  8. Glaze: Once the poppers are out of the oven and still warm, brush the honey butter glaze evenly over the tops to add shine, moisture, and an irresistible sweet finish.

Notes

  • Ensure the mini muffin tin is well greased to make removing the poppers easier.
  • Use fresh or thawed corn kernels for the best texture.
  • The glaze can be adjusted to taste by adding more or less honey for sweetness.
  • Serve warm for optimal flavor and softness.
  • These poppers make great appetizers or a side dish for soups and salads.
