Southern-Style Honey Butter Cornbread Poppers

Instructions
1. Prepare the Batter:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a mini muffin tin or use a non-stick spray.
In a mixing bowl, combine the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, melted butter, honey, and egg.
Gradually fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, mixing just until combined. Do not overmix.
2. Fill the Muffin Tin:
Spoon the batter into the prepared mini muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full.
3. Bake:
Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the tops are golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the poppers cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
4. Make the Honey Butter Glaze:
In a small bowl, mix the melted butter and honey until smooth.
5. Glaze the Poppers:
While the poppers are still warm, brush them generously with the honey butter glaze. For extra flair, sprinkle with a pinch of flaky sea salt.
6. Serve:
Serve warm as a snack, appetizer, or side dish. These pair wonderfully with soups, stews, or as a stand-alone treat!
These Southern-Style Honey Butter Cornbread Poppers are sweet, buttery, and packed with comforting flavors. Perfect for any gathering or as a quick indulgence. Enjoy! 🌽🍯
