These Southern-Style Honey Butter Cornbread Poppers are a delightful blend of sweet corn, cheddar cheese, and red bell pepper, topped with a honey butter drizzle.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup Cornmeal
  • 1 cup All-purpose flour (or whole wheat flour)
  • 1/4 cup Granulated sugar (adjust to taste)
  • 1 tbsp Baking powder (ensure freshness)
  • 1/2 tsp Salt
  • 1 cup Buttermilk (or milk with vinegar)
  • 2 large Large eggs (room temperature preferred)
  • 1/2 cup Melted unsalted butter
  • 1 cup Sweet corn kernels (fresh or frozen)
  • 1 cup Diced red bell pepper (or green bell pepper)
  • 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese (sharp or mild)
  • 1/2 cup Honey
  • 1/4 cup Unsalted butter (softened)
  • 1/4 cup Fresh parsley or cilantro (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Mix the dry ingredients: cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl.
  3. Stir the wet ingredients: mix buttermilk, eggs, and melted butter in another bowl until smooth.
  4. Combine both mixtures, stirring until just mixed; it’s okay if lumps remain.
  5. Fold in the veggies and cheese: add corn, bell pepper, and cheddar to the batter.
  6. Pour the batter into a greased baking dish, spreading it evenly.
  7. Bake for 25-30 minutes until the top is golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
  8. Prepare the honey butter by mixing honey and softened butter until creamy.
  9. Serve warm, drizzling honey butter over the poppers and garnishing with parsley or cilantro.
