Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 250g flour (a mix of whole wheat and cake flour)
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • A pinch of cayenne pepper
  • 1 tsp dried mixed herbs
  • 100g grated cheddar cheese
  • 30g grated parmesan cheese

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 large egg
  • 210ml milk
  • 60ml oil or melted butter

Bovril Butter

  • 100g softened butter
  • 1 tsp Bovril

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven: Set your oven to 180°C (350°F) to ensure it’s at the perfect temperature for baking the muffins.
  2. Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, cayenne pepper, dried mixed herbs, grated cheddar, and parmesan cheese. Mix thoroughly to distribute all ingredients evenly.
  3. Combine wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat the egg, then add the milk and oil or melted butter. Mix until well incorporated.
  4. Combine wet and dry: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Gently stir until just combined, taking care not to overmix to keep the muffins tender.
  5. Bake: Divide the batter evenly among prepared muffin cups. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the muffins are golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  6. Make butter: While the muffins are baking, beat the softened butter and Bovril together in a bowl until smooth and creamy.
  7. Serve: Remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool slightly. Serve warm topped with a generous spread of the whipped Bovril butter for a delicious savory treat.

Notes

  • Use a combination of whole wheat and cake flour for a tender yet hearty texture.
  • Do not overmix the batter to avoid tough muffins.
  • You can substitute the Bovril with Marmite or Vegemite for a similar flavor.
  • These muffins are best enjoyed warm with the whipped Bovril butter but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
