Servings: 12 Muffins
Ingredients
Dry ingredients
- 250 g Self raising flour
- 1 tsp Baking powder
- 1 tsp Salt
- 200 g Grated cheese
- 160 g Can of Tinned Sweetcorn Drained
- 25 g Fresh chives Chopped finely
Wet ingredients
- 2 Eggs Beaten
- 100 ml Oil Sunflower or vegetable
- 250 ml Milk Semi skimmed or whole milk
Also
- 1 tbsp Oil to brush the tin
Optional
- Spring onions (green onions/scallions), red onion, cooked bacon, peppers, spinach
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 200C.
- Brush the inside of a muffin tin well with oil.
- Mix all of the dry ingredients in one bowl.
- Mix all of the wet ingredients in a bowl or jug, and stir until well mixed.
- Plop the wet mixture into the dry and mix until totally combined. (Don't over mix, but do check thoroughly as there are often pockets of dry flour hiding!)
- Scoop into the 12 muffin holes and bake for 20 - 25 minutes or until golden brown.
Notes
- Be sure to use a STRONG cheese, I use an Extra Mature Cheddar. These muffins really need this to give flavour. (Parmesan would work really well too.)
- I like to reserve a handful of cheese from the main mixture and sprinkle on top of the scooped muffins.
- You can use muffin cases if you prefer but as these muffins don't have a huge amount of oil in the mixture, they can stick a little to the paper.
- Use a quite bland oil like sunflower or vegetable oil. I wouldn't recommend olive oil as the taste will be very strong.
- Do try to buy fresh chives, they really make the taste of this. If you don't have them, you can substitute a small, finely chopped red or white onion.
