Whisk together the oil, eggs and buttermilk, then fold into the flour. Fold in the pancetta, Cheddar and spring onion. Don’t over-mix.
- Divide the mixture evenly among the muffin cases. Sprinkle over the extra grated Cheddar, then bake for 18-20 minutes until risen, golden and springy to the touch. Allow to cool slightly before serving.
