  • 3. In another bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, eggs, and melted butter until smooth.
  • 4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix!
  • 5. Gently fold in the sweet corn kernels and shredded cheddar cheese, adding a beautiful yellow and orange hue to your batter.
  • 6. Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 2/3 full.
  • 7. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  • 8. While the poppers are baking, prepare the honey butter by mixing the softened butter and honey together until creamy and smooth.
  • 9. Once the poppers are done, let them cool slightly before removing them from the tin. Drizzle with the honey butter and garnish with fresh chives or parsley for a pop of green! 🌿
