Equipment
- non-stick baking muffin tray
Ingredients
- 100 g cornmeal flour finely ground
- 130 g all-purpose flour
- 7 g baking powder
- 4 g salt
- ½ teaspoon thyme dried
- ½ teaspoon sweet paprika
- 300 ml kefir
- 3 eggs M sized
- 70 g butter melted
- 90 g ham finely chopped
- 70 g cheese gouda or cheddar, shredded
- 1-2 spring onions chopped
- additional butter or lard for coating the muffin tray
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180°C (356°F). Finely chop the ham, grate the cheese, and cut the spring onion into thin rings. Take a standard (non-stick) 12-hole muffin tray and coat it generously with softened butter or lard. Set aside.
- In one bowl add dry ingredients: flour, baking powder, salt, thyme, and sweet paprika, and whisk well. Whisk kefir, eggs, and melted (but not too hot) butter in another bowl.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with dry ones and stir with a spatula until just combined. Add most of the ham, cheese, and spring onion reserving some of it for sprinkling on top of the cornbread muffins before baking and stir again.
- Spoon the batter evenly among all 12 holes filling them right up. Sprinkle with the rest of the cheese, ham, and spring onions. Bake for 15-20 minutes.
- Check the doneness with a toothpick, it should come clean when muffins are baked. Take them out of the oven, leave for 1-2 minutes in the baking tray and carefully remove from the muffin tray. You need to do this right away otherwise the bottom can become soggy.
