Instructions

Cornmeal Popovers

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F.
2. Pour 1 tablespoon of the melted butter into a blender. Drizzle the remaining butter into the 12-cup mini popover pan.
3. Add the eggs, milk, and kosher salt to the blender. Blend for 20 seconds to combine.
4. Sift the cornmeal and flour into a small bowl.
5. Place the popover pan into the oven and preheat for 2 minutes.
6. Gradually add the sifted dry ingredients to the blender in two additions, blending for 20 seconds each time.
7. Remove the popover pan from the oven and immediately pour the batter into each cup, filling them about ¾ of the way.
8. Bake for 25 minutes without opening the oven door, or until the popovers are puffed and golden.
9. Once baked, remove the popovers from the oven. Pierce each one on the side with a small knife to prevent them from collapsing.
10. Serve immediately with herb honey butter and an extra drizzle of honey over the top.
