Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). This will ensure that your poppers bake evenly and develop a beautiful golden color.

2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cornmeal, all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Whisk them together until thoroughly mixed. (2 minutes)

3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, and melted unsalted butter until well combined. (2 minutes)

4. Gradually pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are perfectly fine! (2 minutes)

5. Fold in the corn kernels, making sure they are evenly distributed throughout the batter. (1 minute)

6. Grease a mini muffin tin with cooking spray or butter. Spoon the cornbread batter into each cavity, filling them about two-thirds full. (3 minutes)

7. Bake the poppers in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until they are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. (15 minutes)

8. While the poppers are baking, prepare the sweet honey butter glaze. In a small bowl, combine the softened butter, honey, and salt. Mix until smooth and creamy. If desired, add a pinch of cinnamon for an extra layer of flavor. (5 minutes)

9. Once the cornbread poppers are done baking, remove them from the oven and let them cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. (5 minutes)

10. Brush the warm poppers generously with the honey butter glaze, allowing the glaze to soak in for maximum sweetness. (2 minutes)

Pro tip: For a tantalizing twist, add diced jalapeños or shredded cheese to the batter for an extra kick.
