Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup cornmeal
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons sugar

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup milk
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup butter, melted
  • 2 tablespoons honey

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven. Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it reaches the right temperature while you prepare the batter.
  2. Prepare the muffin tin. Grease a 24-cup muffin tin or line it with paper liners to prevent sticking and make removal easy.
  3. Mix dry ingredients. In a medium bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar until evenly combined.
  4. Mix wet ingredients. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs until smooth, then add the milk, melted butter, and honey, stirring until fully incorporated.
  5. Combine wet and dry ingredients. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir just until combined; avoid overmixing to keep the poppers light and tender.
  6. Fill the muffin cups. Spoon the batter evenly into the muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full to allow room for rising during baking.
  7. Bake the poppers. Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 15-20 minutes or until the tops are golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  8. Cool and serve. Remove the poppers from the oven and let them cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Serve warm with extra butter or honey if desired.

Notes

  • Do not overmix the batter to avoid dense poppers.
  • For a richer flavor, use buttermilk instead of regular milk.
  • Ensure the oven is fully preheated for even baking.
  • These poppers freeze well; store in an airtight container for up to 1 month.
  • Adjust sweetness by varying the amount of honey and sugar to taste.
