Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease and flour a mini muffin tin.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg, milk, and melted butter.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Spoon the batter into the prepared mini muffin tin, filling each cup about two-thirds full.
Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a popper comes out clean and the edges are golden brown.
While the poppers are baking, prepare the honey butter glaze. In a small bowl, cream together the softened butter, honey, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Once the cornbread poppers are out of the oven, let them cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
Drizzle the warm honey butter glaze over the warm cornbread poppers.
Serve warm and enjoy!
Notes
These poppers are best served warm. They can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, but they are most delicious fresh!
