Cheese and Bacon Muffins

Makes 8
4 rashers streaky bacon
60g cheddar
175g self raising flour
1 tsp English mustard powder
2 eggs
200ml milk
85g butter, melted
1 Preheat the oven to gas mark 6/200C/180fan. Grease a muffin tin.
2 Cut the bacon into small pieces and dry fry until crisp. Leave to drain on kitchen paper.
3 Cut ¾’s of the cheese into small dice and grate the remainder.
4 Stir the flour, mustard powder and some salt and pepper together in a large bowl.
5 Whisk together the eggs and milk, stir in the melted butter.
6 Pour the liquid into the dry ingredients and stir to combine. The mixture should look quite runny and a bit lumpy. Add the bacon and diced cheese and stir only a couple of times.
7 Ladle into the prepared muffin tin (the holes should be quite full) and sprinkle with the grated cheese.
8 Bake for 25 minutes until risen, golden and quite firm.
