Here is the recipe for the Ham and Mushroom Muffins given out on the 28/4/11. It is a really tasty treat, just make sure you have help from adults with any chopping and let them put the muffins in and out of the oven! We don't want any burnt fingers!
Ingredients:
50g Butter
1/2 Small Onion, Finely Chopped
80g Button Mushrooms
360g Plain Flour
2 1/2 Tspns Baking Powder
250g Cheddar Cheese
220ml Whole Milk
1 Egg
80g Smoked Ham, Finely Chopped
Sea Salt & Freshly Ground Black Pepper
Method:
1) Preheat the oven to 170'C (325'F) Gas mark 3.
2) Melt the butter in a saucepan over a medium heat, then fry the onion and mushrooms until cooked.Season with salt and pepper and set aside.
3) Put the flour, baking powder, and cheese in a large bowl. In a separate bowl, mix the milk and egg together, then slowly pour into the flour mixture and beat with a hand held electric whisk until all the ingredients are well mixed.
4) Stir in the onion, mushrooms, and chopped ham with a wooden spoon until evenly dispersed.
5) Spoon the mixture into paper cases until two-thirds full and bake in a preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until deep golden and the sponge bounces back when touched. A skewer inserted in the centre should come out clean.
6) Leave the muffins to cool slightly in the tray before turning out onto a wire cooling rack to cool completely.
