  • Total Time: 28 minutes
  • Yield: Makes 24 poppers

Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 2/3 cup cornmeal
  • 1/3 cup all-purpose flour, plus 2 tablespoons extra
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder

Wet Ingredients

  • 3 eggs, beaten
  • 3/4 cup creamed corn
  • 1 stick butter (1/2 cup), melted

Honey Butter Glaze

  • 1 stick butter (1/2 cup), melted
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • Fresh chives, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375º F (190º C) and prepare a mini muffin pan by spraying it with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, kosher salt, cornmeal, 1/3 cup all-purpose flour, and baking powder until evenly combined. Set aside.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, mix together the beaten eggs, creamed corn, and melted butter until well blended.
  4. Combine Wet and Dry: Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined, ensuring there are no lumps of flour, but avoid overmixing to keep the batter tender.
  5. Fill Muffin Pan: Use a small ice cream scoop or tablespoon to partially fill each cup of the mini muffin pan with the batter, leaving space for rising.
  6. Bake: Place the muffin pan in the preheated oven and bake for 16 to 18 minutes, or until the poppers are golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  7. Prepare Honey Butter Glaze: While the poppers bake, combine the melted butter and honey in a small bowl. If using unsalted butter, add a pinch of salt to balance sweetness.
  8. Glaze and Garnish: Once baked, immediately remove the poppers from the pan onto a wire rack and brush each popper generously with the warm honey butter glaze. Garnish with fresh chives if desired.

Notes

  • Do not overmix the batter to avoid tough poppers; mix just until ingredients are combined.
  • Using a small ice cream scoop helps ensure uniform-sized poppers that bake evenly.
  • Fresh chives add a nice touch of color and subtle onion flavor, but they are optional.
  • If you prefer a less sweet glaze, reduce honey quantity slightly.
  • Use fresh baking powder for best rise and texture.
