# Preparation Steps:
01 -
Set oven to 400°F and prepare a mini muffin tin by greasing thoroughly or lining with mini paper liners.
02 -
In a large bowl, whisk together cornmeal, all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until evenly combined.
03 -
In a separate bowl, blend melted butter, buttermilk, honey, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth.
04 -
Gently fold the wet mixture into the dry ingredients until just combined, avoiding overmixing to ensure tender poppers.
05 -
Spoon batter evenly into mini muffin cups, filling each approximately three-quarters full to achieve domed tops.
06 -
Bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until golden and a toothpick inserted comes out clean; rotate pan halfway through baking for even coloring.
07 -
While baking, melt butter and mix in honey with a pinch of salt until smooth and well combined.
08 -
Upon removal from oven, immediately brush warm poppers generously with honey butter glaze to soak in the sweetness; serve warm for best texture.
# Additional Suggestions:
01 -
Avoid overmixing batter to maintain airy texture and prevent toughness.
02 -
Rotate the mini muffin tin halfway through baking for uniform browning.
03 -
Apply glaze while poppers are hot to ensure maximum absorption and gloss.
