Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat the oven to 180C/350F and line your muffin tins with baking paper or muffin liners.
  2. Mix all the dry ingredients together until well combined then add the herbs and cheese. Stir this through the dry mix until evenly distributed.
  3. Beat all the wet ingredients together in a separate bowl then add this to the dry ingredients. Fold through with a wooden spoon until well combined. Divide the mixture evenly between the lined muffin cups and sprinkle a little extra cheese over the top. Bake for 20 – 25 minutes (depending on the size) and when the muffins start turning golden.
  4. Serve warm or hot out the oven with the whipped Bovril butter.
To make the Bovril butter:
  1. While the muffins are baking, whip the slightly softened butter with the Bovril using an electric whisk. Once it softens and fluffs up, it is ready to serve.
