The combination of bacon and blue cheese is formidable. This savory muffin recipe is totally flop-proof, fail-proof and fool-proof, and these bacon and blue cheese muffins will go down in history as the yummiest savory muffins ever!
Ingredients
240g Self-Raising flour
3ml Salt
10ml Baking powder
1 Egg
225ml Milk
50ml Melted butter
200g Blue cheese
6 Rashers of streaky bacon, chopped
Instructions
Chop the bacon into bits and fry this over medium heat for 8-10 minutes until well browned and crisp. Remove and drain on kitchen paper.
Sift the flour, salt and baking powder into a large mixing bowl.
In a jug, whisk the egg into the milk, then pour this into the flour.
Whisk this to a thick batter, then mix in the melted butter.
Crumble the blue cheese into the batter, and add the bacon bits.
Stir this until everything is evenly distributed in the batter.
Cut 6 pieces of baking paper into 15cm / 6 inch squares, and press these into the muffin pan. Spoon equal amounts of batter into each hole.
Bake the muffins at 180c / 350f for 25-30 minutes. Press a tooth-pick into the center of a muffin, if it comes out clean, the muffins are ready. If it does not, return the muffins to the oven for a few more minutes, then test again.
When ready, remove the pan from the oven, remove the muffins from the pan and let the muffins cool on a wire rack for 15 minutes before serving.
