My new job is at the Department of Corrections. After 70 applications to Invercargill jobs, I am totally wrapped and join the Saturday Working Club now and the lucky few of us in the club have made it a ritual to make a pot luck lunch at work each Saturday. So I am making muffins to take a long tomorrow.If you don't have muffin tins, check out your opshops for second hand ones. They are hygenic because they are baked in so don't worry about other people's goobies too much.
These muffins make great nibbles for any occasion and are best with a bit of cream cheese. They don't take long to make either.
The skeleton for this recipe was taken from Nigella's muffin recipe and been amended by me .
So, the recipe goes...
Ingredients
175g plain flour
75g rye flour (for some nutty flavour)
2.5 tsp baking powder
1 tsp bicarbonate soda
1 c grates cheddar
Couple fo splashes of Worcester Sauce
1 egg
125ml soy milk or normal
75ml vege oil (garlic infused if you have it)
Add corn,garden chives, parsley, capers as desired
Method
Heat oven at 180 degrees.
Mix together dry ingredients.
And separately mix together cheese, egg, worcester sauce, vege oil, soy milk, and fresh herbs.
Combine the two and with teaspoon scoop modest amounts into each mould. Because there is plenty of raising agent, don't fill the mould up to the top.
Bake for 10 - 15 minutes, check on progress as each recipe has a different bake time depending on how the cook decided to personalises recipes.
I love catering to community and what people need, and these cheesy yummy snack size muffins will make the Fri night hangover which I know some of us will be feeling after the week that was at probation!
