Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 12

100ml sunflower oil, plus extra for the tin
200g self-raising flour
100g polenta or cornmeal
½ tsp bicarbonate of soda
½ tsp mustard powder
½ tsp cayenne pepper
1 tbsp cumin seeds
1 tbsp onion seeds
200ml milk
2 eggs, beaten
50g extra-mature cheddar, grated
25g parmesan, finely grated

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6 and oil a 12-hole muffin tin. Tip the flour, polenta, bicarb, mustard powder, cayenne and 2 tsp each of the cumin and onion seeds into a bowl with a large pinch of salt. Whisk the oil, milk and eggs together in a jug and pour over the dry ingredients. Beat everything together until smooth. Stir through all but a handful of both cheeses, then divide the mixture between the holes in the tin. Combine the rest of the cheese, cumin and onion seeds and scatter this over the tops.
  • Bake the muffins for 20-22 mins until puffed up and golden. Leave to cool for 10 mins in the tin, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Best eaten on the day, but will keep in an airtight container for two days.
