Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 275 g self raising flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 egg, beaten
- 60 ml olive oil, plus extra for frying
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 70g butter, melted
- 280 ml milk (I use semi skimmed)
- 1 sprig thyme
- 2 onions, diced
- 90 g stilton, chopped or crumbled up
- 8 bacon rashers or medallions
Instructions
Preheat the oven to fan 180℃ / 200℃ / 400℉. Line a 12 hole muffin tin with paper cases.- Dry fry the bacon until cooked and starting to take on colour, then move to a chopping board, leaving the pan on a low heat.
- Add a drizzle of olive oil to the pan and add the onion and thyme leaves. Fry the onion until softened and turn off the heat.
- Slice the cooked bacon into fairly large pieces.
- In one large mixing bowl, mix the flour, baking powder and salt together. Add the bacon, stilton and onion and stir until combined.
- In another mixing bowl whisk the milk, oil, egg and melted butter together.
- Fold the wet ingredients into the dry until just combined – try not to overmix as this will make your muffins heavier and denser.
- Spoon the mix evenly into the muffin cases and bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until firm and golden.
