After feeling guilty for the last few weeks that I haven’t contributed to #MoreCheeseMonday, finally here is a tasty offering from me. A recipe for Really Cheesy Muffins.
This is one of my favorite cheese recipes and one that’s so easy to make. It’s great fun to let the kids take over and make it themselves (as long as you don’t mind some flour flying round the kitchen!).
And so to the recipe…
You will need:
225g Self raising flour
50g Rye flour
1 teaspoon Baking powder
½ teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon English mustard powder
125g Strong cheddar cheese
6 tablespoons Vegetable oil
150g Greek yoghurt
125ml Full fat milk
1 Egg
12 bun muffin tray lined with 12 paper muffin cases
Method:
Preheat your oven to 200 C Mix the flours, baking powder, bicarb, salt, mustard powder, and cheese in a large bowl.
In a jug beat together the vegetable oil, yoghurt, milk and the egg.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix together.
Don’t be too fussy about getting the mixture smooth. Lumpy batter bakes better muffins!
Pour the batter equally into the muffin tins and bake for 20 mins.
Take them out of the oven and sprinkle a little more grated cheddar on top of each muffin.
Pop them back in the oven for another 5 mins.
Cool the muffins on a wire rack and enjoy!
If eating the next day they are best warmed through in the microwave for just a few seconds per muffin.
As a variation you can add 2 tablespoons of Worcestershire sauce to the wet ingredients and even sprinkle a little on top when you add the last bit of cheese for the last 5 mins.This gives them more of a Wel sh Rarebit flavor.
As a last tip – make sure you use a really full flavoured Cheddar for this recipe to get the full gorgeous cheesy taste! ENJOY!
