Directions:

To Make the Cornbread Poppers:

4. Prepare the Batter
   • Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Fold in the corn kernels for added texture and flavor.
5. Fill the Muffin Tin
   • Spoon the batter into the prepared mini muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full.
6. Bake
   • Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

To Make the Honey Butter Glaze:

1. Mix the Glaze
   • In a small bowl, mix together the melted butter and honey until smooth and well combined.
2. Glaze the Poppers
   • Brush the glaze over the warm cornbread poppers immediately after they come out of the oven.
