Method
-
- Preheat the oven to 200ºC/gas mark 6. In a bowl mix together the flour, baking powder, salt, sugar, grated cheese and sweetcorn.
- Melt the butter then mix in the mustard, yogurt, milk, egg and chives. Pour the butter mixture into the flour and mix it together a little.
- Lightly grease a 12-hole muffin tin and spoon in a little bit of the batter. Drop a small cube of cheese in the centre of each muffin then top up with the rest of the batter.
- Bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes until golden, then slip them out onto a wire rack to cool slightly… they’re best served warm.
You could try a couple of different spins on this recipe, such as:
– use self-raising wholemeal flour for a different flavour and longer-lasting energy.
– lightly fry a couple of rashers of streaky bacon, then chop and add to the muffin mixture before baking.
– swap the sweetcorn for a diced chopped tomato.
