Welsh Rarebit Muffins
We’ve taken the main elements of Welsh rarebit — a cheesy sauce, cooked with beer then melted on toast — and turned them into these indulgent muffins
Cook
35 minutes
Serves
12
Ingredients
125g Co-op self raising flour
125g Co-op plain flour
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp bicarbonate of soda
½ tsp mustard powder
75g Co-op unsalted butter, melted
1 Co-op British free range egg, beaten
250ml Co-op golden ale
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
125g Co-op Welsh mature Cheddar, grated (or use any mature Cheddar you like)
Chutney, to serve (optional)
Method
Preheat the oven to 200°C/fan 180°C/gas 6
Line a 12-hole muffin tin with paper cases
Sift together the flours, baking powder, bicarb, mustard powder and a little seasoning
In a jug, stir together the butter, egg, ale and Worcestershire sauce
Make a well in the centre of the flour and pour in the wet ingredients, along with most of the cheese
Gradually stir, bringing in the sides, until combined — but be careful not to overmix
Spoon into the prepared muffin cases
Sprinkle over the remaining cheese and bake in the oven for 20 mins
Allow to cool slightly, then serve with your favourite chutney on the side, if you like
