Muffin Madness Monday


securedownload (10)

 

Volunteering can be hard when you have six kids at home and five of them are still quite young.  But this week I joined a group called Baked Relief, baking muffins, cakes, slices and meals to feed SES volunteers, Energex crews and families displaced by the floods.  Anyone really who was lending a hand .  It was easy, I just doubled or quadrupled the same recipes I was making to freeze as lunch box supplies.  At the time I didn’t feel like I was doing much, I was just baking in my own home, but I know from reading the messages of thanks on Baked Relief’s Facebook page that the food was very much appreciated.  Baked Relief is a great way for people who want to help out, but for one reason or another have restrictions that prevent them from going out into the community to volunteer to lend a hand.

This week’s muffin recipe was kindly shared by a fellow Baked Reliefer (I’m making up words again), and my kids absolutely loved them. You just mix up the three ingredient savoury batter and add whatever you want.  I went with bacon and paprika, but you could go with chives, capsicum, mushrooms, anything you want to use up.

Savoury Muffins

Ingredients:

2 Cups Self-Raising Flour

2 Cups Milk

2 Cups Grated Cheese

My Additions:

4 Rashers Diced Bacon

1 tsp Paprika

Directions:

Preheat your oven to 180C.

Combine flour, milk and cheese in a large mixing bowl and stir to combine, being careful not to over-mix.

Add bacon and paprika (or additions of your choice) and stir to combine.

Fill muffin cups or greased muffin trays 3/4 full with batter and place in the oven until muffins are a light golden colour and spring back when touched gently.  You could also poke them with a metal skewer which will come out clean when they are done.

Thanks Gina for the Recipe!
