METHOD

​

• Preheat the oven to 200℃/gas mark 6. In a bowl mix together the flour, baking powder, salt, sugar, grated cheese and sweet corn.

• Melt the salted butter then mix in the mustard, FRUGURT Dahi, milk, egg and chives. Pour the cheese mixture into the flour and mix it together a little.

• Lightly grease a 12-hole muffin tin and spoon in a little bit of the batter. Drop a small cube of cheese in the centre of each muffin then top up with the rest of the batter.

• Bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes until golden, then slip them out onto a wire rack to cool slightly. They're best served warm.

• You could try a couple of different spins on this recipe, such as:
  - Lightly fry a couple of rashers of streaky bacon, then chop and add to the muffin mixture before baking.
  - Swap the sweetcorn for a diced chopped tomato/ red capsicum.
