Hi Everyone,

Just had to share this recipe with you, I did them the other day and they scrumcious. I thought for a picnic they would be great.

Here goes:

150g Self-raising flour
150g plain flour
2 tsp baking powder
150g mature cheddar
half teaspoon salt
half teaspoon cracked black pepper
2 medium eggs
(lightly beaten)
200ml whole milk
150g courgettes, grated
3 salad onions, trimmed and finely chopped.

Heat the oven to180C/gas 4. Butter 12-cup muffin tin and line with squares of greaseproof paper, overlapping the edges slightly (or use large muffin cases)
Sieve the two flours, and the BP into a large bowl. Add the Cheddar and seasoning.

Beat eggs and milk together until smooth, add this mixture to the dry ingredients and stir gently and thoroughly until well combined. Lightly stir in the courgettes and salad onions.

Spoon the mixture into the lined tin and cook for about 20 minutes. until the muffins are risen and golden, and are firm but springy to the touch. Leave to cool. (The muffins can be stored in an airtight container for upto three days, they can also be made in advance and kept in the freezer for 2 months).

Sounds a weird combination but I assure you they are great.
