- 1/4 cup of sugar
- 1 tablespoon of baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon of salt
- 1/2 cup of melted butter
- 1/4 cup of honey

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly grease a mini muffin pan.

- In another bowl, combine the melted butter, honey, buttermilk, and eggs, mixing until smooth.
- Add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients and stir gently until just incorporated—do not overmix.
- Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.

Notes
To enhance the savory flavor, try adding a pinch of cayenne pepper or some shredded cheddar cheese.
Store the poppers in an airtight container for up to 2 days, or freeze them for extended storage.
For an extra sweet finish, serve them warm with a generous drizzle of honey butter.
