那天在报纸上看到这个食谱,就蠢蠢欲动,跃跃一试,就去买了材料来试.。结果却失败了,看来我搅拌了太久。不过还是上载了食谱和大家分享。

Ingredients:
150g corn kernels (I bought the tetrapack corn kernels from Del Monte. I should have put in more effort to do the fresh corn myself, it will definitely taste better)
50g salted butter, softened
150g smoked cheese (I personally find this too much and too salty, should cut down to 100g or less if you are not a cheese lover)
15g chives (I didn't include this)
250g plain flour
1 Tbs double acting baking powder
1 1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp freshly cracked black pepper
50ml vegetable oil
250ml milk
1 extra large egg

Method:
1 - Using a pastry brush, butter the cups of a 12-cup muffin tray, set aside.
2 - Preheat oven to 200 deg C
3 - Cut the cheese into roughly 0.5cm cubes. finely chop the chives
4 - Measure out the flour, baking powder, salt and pepper into a large mixing bowl. Add the corn, cheese and chives, mix with a fork
5 - Measure out the oil and milk into a pouring jug. Add the egg, stir with a fork
6 - Make a well in the middle of large mixing bowl, add the oil-milk-egg mixture, and mix with a large metal spoon until the ingredients just combined. TIPS - Do not over-mix the batter. A few clumps of flour won't hurt.
7 - Divide the mixture evenly among the muffin cups. Place these in the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the muffins area light golden brown.
8 - Remove from oven, let it sit for 5 minutes, before removing from muffin tray. Cool them on a rack for about 20 minutes before eating.
