Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup butter, melted
  • 200 ml milk
  • 1 large egg room temperature
  • 1&1/2 cup self-raising flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1 cup grated cheddar cheese
  • 1 spring onion, chopped

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius. Grease a muffin pan and set aside
  • Melt the butter and add it to the milk together with the egg. Beat it well and set aside
  • In a large bowl mix the flour, bicarbonate of soda, salt, sugar, cayenne pepper, cheese and spring onion. Add the liquid to the dry ingredients and fold the ingredients in until well combined. Do not over mix.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared muffin pan. I add about a 1/4 cup of batter per muffin
  • Bake at 180 degrees celsius for 15 minutes or until the tops are golden brown or a toothpick comes out clean

Notes

  1. These muffins can be stored up to three days in an airtight container
  2. Muffins can be frozen for up to a month. They must be thawed before they are eaten and can be warmed slightly
  3. There are many variations that can be used to customise your muffins. You can use spinach, feta, parsley, sweetcorn, chives, sun-dried tomatoes, mozzarella. The list is endless
  4. If the cayenne pepper is too much for your taste buds you can reduce the quantity
  5. If you are using cake flour or all purpose flour add a teaspoon of baking powder together with the bicarbonate of soda 
  6. I always use salted butter in my baking. Therefore I don't always add salt. For this recipe I added a little extra salt as it is a savoury muffin.
