You can switch up the flavor by adding spices like cinnamon or nutmeg for a warm touch. You could also try using maple syrup instead of honey for a different sweetness.
FAQs
1. Can I use regular milk instead of buttermilk?
Yes, you can use regular milk, but for a better flavor, add a tablespoon of vinegar or lemon juice to make a buttermilk substitute.
2. Can I make these in regular muffin tins?
Absolutely! If you don’t have a mini muffin tin, you can use a standard muffin tin. Just adjust the baking time, as larger muffins may take a bit longer to bake.
3. Are these poppers gluten-free?
No, this recipe contains all-purpose flour. However, you can use a gluten-free flour blend to make them gluten-free if needed.
