Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup Cornmeal – Use yellow or white cornmeal for best results.
- 1 cup All-purpose flour – For a healthier option, you can substitute whole wheat flour.
- 1/4 cup Sugar – Adjust to taste for sweetness level.
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder – Essential for leavening the poppers.
- 1/2 teaspoon Salt – Enhances overall flavor.
- 1 cup Milk – You can use buttermilk for a richer flavor.
- 2 Large eggs – Room temperature eggs work best.
- 1/4 cup Melted butter – Can be replaced by coconut oil for a dairy-free version.
- 1/4 cup Honey – Use local honey for added flavor.
- Butter for greasing – As needed to ensure the muffin tin is well-greased.
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and grease a muffin tin.
- Combine cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a mixing bowl.
- Whisk together milk, eggs, melted butter, and honey in another bowl.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined.
- Fill each muffin cup about 3/4 full with the batter.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow to cool slightly before removing from the tin.
- Serve warm with additional honey and butter, if desired.
Notes
Use room temperature ingredients for a smoother batter. Do not overmix once the wet ingredients are added; this keeps the poppers fluffy.
