- Yields:

18 muffins
- Serves:
- 18
ingredients
- 1 1⁄2 cups whole wheat flour
- 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons powdered mustard
- 1 1⁄2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 1⁄4 teaspoons baking soda
- 1⁄8 teaspoon pepper
- 1 1⁄2 cups finely diced cooked smoked ham or 1 1/2 cups Canadian bacon
- 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1⁄4 cup uncooked yellow cornmeal
- 1 cup buttermilk (or I use 1% milk with a tsp of lemon juice in it)
- 2 eggs
- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon vegetable oil
directions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees. In medium mixing bowl mix together flour, sugar, mustard, baking powder, baking soda and both peppers add cheese, and cornmeal.
- In separate medium mixing bowl, using a wire whisk, beat together buttermilk, eggs and oil. Mix in ham.
- Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients and mix until thoroughly combined without over mixing.
- Spray muffin pan cups with a non stick cooking spray; spoon batter into each sprayed cup until about ¾ full. Top with a bit more grated cheese. Place muffin pan on a 4-lipped cookie sheet and put 2 or 3 cups of water onto the cookie to keep muffin bottoms from burning. Bake in middle of center oven rack for 20 to 25 minutes (until muffins are lightly browned and a toothpick inserted in center comes out dry).
- Remove pan from oven and carefully drain off water (it will be hot). Remove muffins from pan and set on wire rack to cool. Serve muffins warm, and for a treat top with maple syrup!
