Follow these easy steps for creating mouthwatering Southern Honey Butter Cornbread Poppers:

1. Preheat oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). Prepare a mini muffin tin by greasing it with cooking spray or butter.
2. Mix dry ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
3. Combine wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk and melted butter until well blended.
4. Combine mixtures: Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture. Stir gently until just combined; do not overmix.
5. Fill the muffin tin: Spoon the batter into each mini muffin cup, filling them about two-thirds full.
6. Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
7. Cool slightly: Allow them to cool in the pan for about 5 minutes before transferring the poppers to a wire rack.
8. Drizzle with honey: While still warm, drizzle the honey over the tops of the poppers for an extra touch of sweetness.
9. Serve and enjoy: These poppers are best served warm and can be enjoyed on their own or with a dipping sauce.
