Temp:
200° c  -  390° f

Step 1: You will need

  • 180 g plain flour
  • 280 g cornmeal
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • Half tsp bicarbonate of soda
  • Half tsp salt
  • 220 ml milk
  • 1 tbsp vinegar
  • 2 eggs, whisked
  • 1 tbsp jalapeño pepper, deseeded and finely chopped, or other fresh chilli pepper
  • 150 g cheddar cheese, grated
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 1 bowl for combining ingredients
  • 1 sieve
  • 2 12 cup mini muffin baking tins, oiled
  • 1 balloon hand whisk
  • 1 spatula
  • 1 spoon

Step 2: Preheat the oven

Start by preheating the oven ready to bake the muffins. Set the temperature at 200ºC (400ºF) gas mark 6.

Step 3: Combine the dry ingredients

Sift the flour into the bowl, then add the cornmeal, baking powder, bicarbonate of soda and salt.

Step 4: Add more ingredients

Pour in the milk, followed by the vinegar and finally add the egg. Using the balloon whisk, vigorously stir the ingredients together until smooth.

Step 5: Add the remaining ingredients

Finally, add the cheese, vegetable oil and the jalapeño pepper and combine everything thoroughly.

Step 6: Put mix inot tins

Spoon the muffin mixture into the tins - put a generous dollop of the mixture into each cup. It's not necessary to smooth them over as this is a fairly rustic recipe.

Step 7: Bake

Place both tins on the same rack in the centre of the oven and bake for 20 minutes

Step 8: Serve

When golden brown, take the muffins out of the oven and leave them to cool down only slightly before serving.

They are delicious eaten warm with a little butter and can be served as a snack at any time of the day.
