Step 1: Make the Cornbread Batter
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
In a separate bowl, combine the buttermilk, egg, melted butter, and honey. Mix well.
Gradually stir the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined. Do not overmix.
Step 2: Heat the Oil
Heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil in a deep skillet or pot over medium heat. The oil should reach 350°F (175°C) for frying. Use a thermometer for accuracy.
Step 3: Fry the Poppers
Using a small cookie scoop or spoon, drop rounded tablespoons of the batter into the hot oil. Fry in batches, avoiding overcrowding the pan.
Cook for 2–3 minutes, turning occasionally, until the poppers are golden brown and cooked through.
Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
Step 4: Make the Honey Butter Glaze
In a small bowl, mix the melted butter, honey, and a pinch of salt until smooth.
Step 5: Glaze and Serve
Drizzle or brush the warm honey butter glaze over the cornbread poppers. Serve immediately and enjoy!
Pro Tips
Keep It Warm: If making in batches, keep the poppers warm in a 200°F (93°C) oven until ready to serve.
Add a Kick: Stir in a pinch of cayenne pepper or diced jalapeños to the batter for a spicy twist.
Dipping Sauce: Pair with ranch, honey mustard, or a spicy aioli for dipping.
