How to Make It 🔥🥄 1. Mix the Batter

In a bowl, whisk together cornmeal, flour, sugar (if using), baking powder, and salt. In a separate bowl, mix buttermilk, egg, and melted butter. Combine wet and dry ingredients, then stir in honey (if not using sugar). Let rest 5 minutes.

2. Form the Poppers

Roll the mixture into small balls or scoop using a spoon (about 1 inch in size). If batter is too soft, chill for 10 minutes.

3. Fry to Golden Perfection

Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Fry poppers 2-3 minutes per side until crispy and golden. Drain on paper towels.

4. Brush with Honey Butter

While warm, brush poppers with melted honey butter for sweet, buttery magic.

5. Serve & Enjoy

Serve warm with extra honey butter or dips like spicy mayo or ranch for contrast.
