Ingredients

Scale

Cornmeal

Cornmeal is the base of our cornbread poppers. You’ll need 1 cup of yellow cornmeal for that classic flavor and texture. It brings a slightly gritty yet soft feel to each bite.

All-Purpose Flour

For added structure, use ½ cup of all-purpose flour. This ingredient balances the density of cornmeal and helps achieve a fluffy texture in the poppers.

Baking Powder

Add 2 teaspoons of baking powder to ensure your poppers rise beautifully. This leavening agent creates lightness and airiness, making every bite delightful.

Sugar

Incorporate ¼ cup of granulated sugar for sweetness. This ingredient enhances the overall flavor profile and complements the honey butter perfectly.

Salt

A pinch of salt (about ½ teaspoon) is essential to balance flavors. It boosts the sweetness while enhancing other ingredients in this delicious treat.

Milk

Use 1 cup of whole milk to add moisture and richness. Milk keeps the batter smooth and creamy, ensuring your poppers don’t dry out during baking.

Eggs

Two large eggs act as binders in this recipe. They help hold everything together while adding richness and a nice texture to the final product.

Unsalted Butter

Melt ½ cup of unsalted butter for both the batter and honey butter topping. This fat enriches the taste and creates a tender crumb in each cornbread popper.

Honey

Drizzle in ¼ cup of honey for sweetness and flavor depth. Honey brings a natural sweetness that pairs wonderfully with buttery cornbread.
