Title: Hfw Red Onion, Cheddar And Bacon Muffins
Swiped. I'll translate it to American and make it sometime soon.
Fun!
Once in a while a recipe gets my attention ... like this one. So, I
hadda make it. My sometime soon was yesterday afternoon. I didn't have
any unsalted butter on hand so I skipped the salt called for as I noted.
The muffins came out wonderfully light and went well with the omelette
I made for my supper. I'll take the recipe writer's word for the pairing
with tomato soup as that is not high on my list of preferred foods. Bv)=

Title: Red Onion, Cheddar & Bacon Muffins
Categories: Breads, Pork, Cheese
Yield: 12 muffins
1 ts Oil
100 g (3.5 oz) streaky bacon; in
- 1 cm (3/8") pieces, 4 sl
- thin sliced bacon
1 md Red onion; peeled, finely
- diced
250 g (8.8 oz) wholemeal self
- rising flour
2 ts Baking powder
1/2 ts Bicarbonate of soda (baking
- soda)
1/4 ts Salt
2 lg Eggs
80 g (3 tb) unsalted butter;
- melted, cooled
200 mL (6.75 oz) buttermilk
1 tb Fine chopped chives; opt
150 g (5.25 oz) strong Cheddar
- cheese; grated
Heat the oven to 200oC/400oF/gas mark 6 and line a
muffin tin with 12 paper cases.
Warm the oil over medium heat and fry the bacon until
just crisp. Remove the bacon from the pan and drain on
paper towels.
In the same fat, saute the onion until just softened
(about 5 minutes), then set it aside to cool.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking
powder, bicarbonate of soda, and salt.
In a jug, whisk the eggs, melted butter, and buttermilk.
Stir this mixture into the flour mixture with a spatula
until just combined.
Fold in the cooled bacon, onion, chives (if using), and
two-thirds of the grated cheese until evenly
distributed.
Spoon or scoop the mixture into the muffin tin, sprinkle
the remaining cheese on top, and bake for about 18
minutes until the tops are golden and a toothpick
inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Enjoy these savory muffnis - they pair wonderfully with
homemade tomato soup!
UDD NOTES: You can use salted butter and skip the 1/4
ts of salt. Bicarb of soda is that old familiar Arm &
Hammer box labelled "Baking Soda". I do not stock
"self-rising" flour - so a added 3 ts of baking powder
and 1/2 ts of table salt to 2 cups of Bob's Red Mill
Whole Wheat flour to mske my own. And yes, the call for
2 ts Baking powder is in addition to that in the "self-
rising" flour.
