Cheese muffins

Everybody loves these muffins and they are easy enough to make often. If you make these muffins regularly buy pre-grated cheese to use in them. This will save you precious minutes as well a s the skin on your knuckles.

2 cups grated tasty cheese

1 ½ cups self-raising flour

½ tsp salt

1 tbsp sugar

Pinch of cayenne pepper

1 egg

1 cup milk

Measure the grated cheese, self-raising flour, salt, sugar and cayenne pepper into a large bowl. Mix lightly with your finger tips to combine. In a small container beat the egg and milk until evenly combined. Pour all the liquid onto the dry ingredients, then fold the two mixtures together, taking care not to over-mix.

Spoon the mixture into 12 medium muffin pans, which have been sprayed with non-stick spray.

Optional topping: sprinkle with a little extra cheese and paprika or chili powder.

Bake at 210°C for about 12 minutes until muffins spring back when pressed in the middle and are golden brown.
