Savoury muffins with smoked cheese

Method

1. Preheat the oven to 200°C/fan180°C/gas 6. Line a 12-hole muffin tin with paper cases or squares of baking paper. In a mixing bowl, combine all the dry ingredients well. Make a well in the centre.
2. Mix together the corn kernels, cheese and all the wet ingredients in a glass jug – don’t overbeat, just loosely incorporate them – and pour into the well, mixing quickly and lightly to a lumpy batter. If the mixture doesn’t drop easily add a little more liquid.
3. Plop a heaped dessertspoonful into each paper case, top with the rest of the grated cheese and bake on the middle shelf for about 20 minutes or until well risen and golden. Serve warm.
