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.
