Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup yellow cornmeal
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 cup corn kernels (fresh, frozen, or canned, drained)
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons honey
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a mini muffin tin.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- In another bowl, mix the milk, melted butter, honey, and egg until well combined.
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Fold in the corn kernels.
- Spoon the batter into the prepared mini muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- In a small bowl, mix together the melted butter and honey until smooth.
- Brush the glaze over the warm cornbread poppers right after they come out of the oven.
- Serve warm with extra honey butter on the side for dipping or drizzling.
Notes
- Ensure the mini muffin tin is well-greased to prevent sticking.
- Use fresh corn kernels for the best flavor, but canned or frozen can work too.
- For extra sweetness, add a tiny bit more honey to the batter.
