Cheesse muffins
Any time is snack time and these very easy to make cheese muffins are musts to have around the house. Pop one or two into lunch boxes for the kids, take a few to work and have them with cream cheese, add more cheese and perhaps some ham, these are great.
They freeze very well and thaw in a short space of time, so make a batch or two this weekend. All week you will have a smile on your face 🙂
Add a handfull of fresh herbs for a difference or a 1/2 teaspoon of paprika for a little something different. (Makes 12 muffins)
What you need
1 1/2 cups plain flour
1 1/2 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder, yes tablespoon
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 cups grated cheddar cheese
1 cup milk
1 large egg
1/4 cup melted butter
The process
Heat your oven to 190 Celsius and lightly butter a muffin tray. If you have cookie cups, insert a cookie cup into each space.
In a large bowl, add all of the dry ingredients. Flour, sugar, baking powder and salt.
In another bowl, add the egg and milk and whisk together well. Now add the melted butter and whisk to combine.
Add the egg mixture along with the cheese to the dry ingredients and stir together with a metal spoon until well combined.
Spoon the mixture equally into the 12 spaces and bake for 20 to 25 minutes.
Remove and allow to cool a little before digging in.

Hi Graham, One thing I learnt many years ago when making muffins. Whatever you are adding to them, like cheese etc, add it with the dry ingredients then it will never sink and will be evenly distributed through the muffin. Never, ever over mix muffins. I learnt the hard way. Just a light mix until wet & dry ingredients blend. Have a good day.
Kind Regards.
p.s. I am new to your site & find it very interesting, well done.

Hi Graham,
Great recipe on the crumpets. I just tried it….. Looks like… I will be making a few more batches of that for winter.
Hi Kalay, enjoy them. Cheers for now G
Hi Graham, I’m so glad you r back! Hope u r well. I must admit I love winter, but I don’t even know what to cook for the kids. They get tired of the same things I cook them everyday. But these muffins I’m trying them this weekend and they seems so easy. I’m a terrible cooker but your recipes are helping a lot. Tks a mill!
Hi Precious, I was never very far, just not cooking as much as I would normally. They are real easy, your kids are gonna love them. Cheers G

Hi Liz, thanks for pointing out. You add it along with the egg mixture. Recipe updated. Cheers G
