Method
 

How to Make Honey Butter Cornbread Poppers
  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, flour, baking powder, and salt until well blended.
  2. In another bowl, combine milk, vegetable oil, and the egg. Stir until fully incorporated.
  3. Gradually pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring gently.
  4. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and grease a mini muffin tin.
  5. Use a tablespoon to scoop the batter into each muffin cup, filling them about three-quarters full.
  6. Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes.
  7. While the poppers bake, melt the unsalted butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Stir in honey and cinnamon.
  8. Once the cornbread poppers are baked, remove them from the oven and brush the honey butter glaze over the hot poppers.
