Mustard-Cheddar Muffins

Recipe lightly adapted from Elizabeth Alston's book Muffins. These are best hot, and make a great side to other savory food. Also good with pickled onions as a snack on their own.



To make these muffins you need to be able to accurately measure things in spoons and cups, grate cheese unless purchased grated, mix and fold a thick batter with wire whisk and spatula, fill a muffin tin and move the tin in and out of the oven.


:
This recipe contains wheat, gluten, eggs, and dairy.




Ingredients:
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1⁄2 teaspoon salt
1⁄4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 cup coarsely grated extra-sharp cheddar cheese
1 large egg
1 tablespoon whole grain mustard
3 tablespoons spicy hot fine-ground mustard
1 cup milk
1⁄4 cup butter, melted

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 350°. Grease muffin cups, or use foil or paper baking cups.

Thoroughly mix flour, baking powder, salt, and pepper in a big bowl. Add in cheese; toss flour and cheese with fingers to distribute cheese evenly.

Whisk egg and mustard in a small bowl. When well mixed, whisk in milk and butter; pour over flour mixture; fold in gently with a rubber spatula, just until dry ingredients are moistened.

Scoop batter into muffin cups. If desired, sprinkle more cheese over the tops of each muffin. Bake 20-25 minutes, or until springy to the touch in the center.

Turn out onto rack to cool.
