Poppy Cheddar Muffins

Name: Poppy Cheddar Muffins
Prep time: 10 min
Cook time: 25 min
Total time: 35 min
Yield: about 1 dozen.
Ingredients: 1-3/4 cups all-purpose flour; 2 tablespoons sugar; 2-1/2 teaspoons baking powder; 2 teaspoons poppy seeds; 3/4 teaspoon salt; 1 large egg; 3/4 cup whole milk; 1/3 cup vegetable oil; 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

When she was a teenager, Patricia VanWyk of Newton, Iowa adapted this recipe from a cookbook. "Since we didn't have the caraway seeds called for in the original recipe, I substituted poppy seeds," she explains. "We liked the savory cheese-topped muffins so well I still make them this way."

Ingredients

1-3/4 cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons sugar
2-1/2 teaspoons baking powder
2 teaspoons poppy seeds
3/4 teaspoon salt
1 large egg
3/4 cup whole milk
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Directions

In a bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, poppy seeds and salt. Combine egg, milk and oil; mix well. Stir into dry ingredients just until moistened. Fold in cheese. Fill greased or paper-lined muffin cups two-thirds full. Bake at 400° for 25 minutes or until muffins test done.

Just took the hot muffins out of the oven. They are sooo good that the bite I cut off to taste makes me want to eat the whole batch. I know my husband will go wild over them. Thanks sooo much for sharing this recipe. It has to be the best!!!
