Equipment
- mixing bowl
- 12-hole muffin pan
Ingredients
- 1 ¼ cups plain flour (all-purpose) 165g
- ½ cup fine polenta (cornmeal) 75g
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon sea salt
- ¼ teaspoon bicarbonate of soda (baking soda)
- 1 apple peeled, cored, and chopped into small chunks
- ¾ cup cheddar cheese 75g grated (I used white cheddar)
- 1 egg lightly beaten
- ¾ cup whole milk
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
Topping
- 2 tablespoons cheddar cheese grated
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F/190°C. Lightly grease the cups of a muffin tray with cooking oil or butter (the cheese could make the muffins stick to paper liners).
- In a large bowl, sift in the flour, polenta, baking powder, salt and bicarb of soda. Stir in the apple chunks, and cheese.
- In a small bowl, lightly whisk together the egg, milk and mustard.
- Pour the milk mixture into the flour mixture and stir to combine.
- Spoon the batter into the muffin cups ¾ full. Sprinkle the remaining 2 tablespoons of cheddar over the batter.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the muffins have risen and turned a light golden colour.
- Allow to cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then remove and cool completely on a wire rack.
