Instructions
Follow these simple steps to bring a taste of my childhood breakfast memories into your home. Remember, cooking is as much about the experience as it is about the result. Enjoy the journey!
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a mini muffin tin with cooking spray or melted butter.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, combine the melted butter, egg, buttermilk, vanilla extract, and maple syrup. Whisk until smooth.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
- Spoon the batter into the prepared mini muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the poppers are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let them cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
