SAVOURY CHEESE MUFFINS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 180C/350F (standard) or 160C/320F (fan).
• Place butter and garlic in a microwave proof bowl and melt in 30 second bursts. Mix.
• Brush a 12 hole standard muffin tin generously with butter, being sure to slather with some garlic. Reserve some butter to brush tops.
• Whisk Dry ingredients in a bowl.
• Whisk Wet ingredients in a separate bowl.
• Pour Wet into the Dry ingredients bowl. Mix 8 times. Add cheese, mix as few times as possible just to incorporate remaining bits of flour - no more than 7 big stirs (secret to soft muffs).
• Divide between 11 holes in muffin in (I use an ice cream scooper). Batter should be thick and fill muffin tin to top (if in ball shape due to scooper, leave as is). See video.
• Bake for 22 - 25 minutes or until the muffins are golden and crusty and spring back when touched in the centre.
• Remove onto cooling rack, brush with remaining butter (microwave again if needed) and cool slightly before getting stuck into them!

• Let the muffins cool in the muffin tin for about 10 minutes.

• In a separate bowl, combine eggs, milk, melted butter and thyme until just moistened (do NOT be over-enthusiastic and mix until smooth).
• Place a heaped spoonful into prepared muffin cups, place a few pieces of cheese cubes, then top with another layer of batter (If you have any empty muffin cups, fill it with water for even baking).
• Bake until puffy and golden, approximately 25 minutes.
• Stand 5 minutes before unmolding onto a rack.

CHEESY CORNBREAD MUFFINS

• Portion the batter into the prepared muffin tin and bake until they are cooked through, about 15 minutes.
• For the honey butter: Mix the butter and honey in a bowl until combined. Transfer to a ramekin. Remove the muffins from the oven, allow to cool a little, then break open and spread with the honey butter.

CHEDDAR CHEESE MUFFINS

PRETZEL MONKEY MUFFINS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment.
• Add the baking soda, kosher salt and 8 cups water to a wide pot and bring to a boil over high heat.
• Meanwhile, separate the biscuits and cut each one into quarters. Lightly flour a work surface and roll each portion of dough until flattened to about 3 inches. Spoon about 1 heaping teaspoon of the Cheddar into the center of each dough piece. Gather each dough piece around the filling and seal into a little ball.
• Working in batches, boil the dough balls, flipping once, until slightly puffed, about 30 seconds. Use a slotted spoon to transfer to the lined baking sheet.
• Beat the egg with 1 tablespoon water in a small bowl. Spray 8 cups of a 12-cup muffin tin with nonstick spray.
• Add 3 balls of dough to the bottom of each sprayed muffin cup. Top each with some of the remaining Cheddar (about 1 heaping teaspoon per muffin cup), then top with a fourth ball of dough, slightly off center. Brush generously with the egg wash and sprinkle with coarse salt.
• Bake until golden brown and puffed, about 15 minutes. Cool slightly before removing from the tin. Serve with honey mustard.
