Method
 

Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and grease a mini muffin tin.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In another bowl, beat buttermilk, eggs, and melted butter until well combined. Pour into dry ingredients gradually.
  4. Gently fold the wet mixture into the dry ingredients until just combined, leaving a few lumps.
  5. Fold in sweet corn, red bell pepper, and cheddar cheese until evenly distributed.
  6. Fill each greased muffin cup two-thirds full with the batter.
  7. Bake for 15-18 minutes until golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
  8. Prepare the honey butter glaze by mixing softened butter and honey until smooth.
  9. Allow poppers to cool for 5 minutes before removing from the tin and drizzling with honey butter. Garnish with parsley or cilantro.
