Equipment
- Mini-muffin tray
- Mixing bowls
- Whisk
Ingredients
Ingredients
- 200 g Cornmeal for texture
- 100 g All-purpose flour for structure
- 2 large Eggs for lift
- 250 ml Milk dairy choice
- 50 g Honey for sweetness
- 50 g Melted butter for glaze
- 5 g Salt to enhance flavors
Instructions
- First, preheat your oven to 175°C and lightly grease a mini-muffin tray.
- In one bowl, whisk the dry ingredients together; in another, mix the wet ingredients until smooth.
- Combine the two until just moistened, then scoop the batter into the cups, filling them about three-quarters full.
- Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the tops turn golden and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- Let the poppers rest for a moment before removing them from the tray to keep the crumb intact.
- If you want an extra-crispy edge, pop them under the broiler for 1–2 minutes—keep a close eye so they don’t burn.
- While your poppers are baking, melt a nice chunk of butter and whisk in honey until smooth.
- Brush the glaze over the tops of the poppers fresh out of the oven for a sticky-sweet finish.
Notes
Tip: Avoid overmixing to prevent a tough crumb and ensure all your ingredients are measured carefully. A hot oven is key for a crisp crust.
