Ingredients

2 cup self-raising flour

1 cup coarsely grated kumara, firmly packed

2 tablespoon snipped chives

2/3 cup buttermilk

125 gram butter, melted

1 egg, lightly beaten

125 gram tasty cheese, cut into 12 small cubes

Method

1.Preheat oven to moderate, 180°C. Lightly spray a 12-hole muffin pan with oil.

2.Sift flour into a large bowl. Stir in kumara and half the chives. In a jug combine buttermilk, butter and egg. Season to taste.

3.Make a well in centre of dry ingredients. Add milk mixture all at once. Mix lightly until just combined. Do not over-mix.

4.Spoon batter into muffin-pan recesses until 2/3 full. Press a cube of cheese into each. Sprinkle with remaining chives.

5.Bake for 25-30 minutes until cooked when tested. Serve muffins warm.

When mixing muffin batter, 16 strokes is usually enough. Over-mixing the batter will make the muffins dry and rubbery.
