Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup cornmeal
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup sweet corn kernels (fresh or frozen)
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese (for a colorful twist)
  • 1/4 cup honey (for drizzling)
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened (for the honey butter)
  • Fresh chives or parsley (optional, for garnish)

Optional Substitutions: Use gluten-free flour for a gluten-free version or vegan cheese to suit dietary preferences.

Instructions

Step1: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease a mini muffin tin or use silicone molds for easy release.

Step2: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.

Step3: In a separate bowl, combine buttermilk, eggs, and melted butter. Whisk until smooth.

Step4: Gradually fold the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring just until combined. Avoid overmixing!

Step5: Gently fold in sweet corn kernels and shredded cheddar cheese for vibrant color and flavor.

Step6: Fill each cup of the muffin tin about two-thirds full with batter.

Step7: Bake for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown. A toothpick inserted should come out clean.

Step8: While the poppers bake, mix softened butter and honey to create creamy honey butter.

Step9: Allow the poppers to cool slightly before removing them from the tin. Drizzle with honey butter and garnish with chives or parsley.

Step10: Serve warm and enjoy!

Equipment

Notes

  • Use fresh sweet corn kernels for an added crunch.
  • For a spicier kick, mix in diced jalapeños.
  • If you don’t have buttermilk, substitute with milk and a tablespoon of vinegar or lemon juice.
