Cheese and Sweet Potato Muffins
- 1 3/4 cups SR Flour
- 2 tblsn caster sugar
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 cup grated cheese
- 3/4 cup grated sweet potato
- 1/4 cup fresh chopped basil
- 1 egg, lightly beaten
- 3/4 cup milk
- 1/3 cup of butter, melted
Method:
Preheat the oven to 200 C. Brush oil on the bottom of a 12 regular sized muffin tin.
Mix flour, sugar, paprika and baking powder in a bowl. Add the cheese, basil and sweet potato and mix well.
In another bowl mix the milk, egg, and butter.
Pour the egg mixture into the flour and fold in with a fork. Do not over mix.. it just has to be wet mostly through, it doesn't even matter if there are small areas of flour about. This is the main secret to good, light muffins.
Spoon into muffin tin, filling each one about 2/3.
Bake for 15 - 25 mins or until just starting to brown.
