Kitchen: author

Cause: for every day
Preparation: oven

Ingredients:

Flour – 1.5 glass;
Baking powder – 1 tbsp;
Cheddar or Gruyere cheese – 150 g;
Kefir – 1 glass;
Eggs – 2 pc;
Butter – 70 g;
Dry basil – 1 tea spoon;
Dry oregano – 1 tea spoon;
Dried tomatoes – 4-5 halves;
Salt – 2/3 tea spoon.

Step 1

First, melt the butter on low heat on the oven or in microwave oven. Leave to cool down. Sieve the flour into a bowl, add baking powder and salt. Stir up.

Step 2

Grate cheddar on a big grater to the same bowl. It’s better to take cheese with an interesting flavour. Stir up.

Step 3

Then add herbs and stir up again.

Step 4

Stir up kefir and eggs in the other bowl.

Step 5

Pour melted butter there. Stir up.

Step 6

Cut dried tomatoes into small pieces.

Step 7

Add liquid ingredients into dry ones and stir up. Do not do it for a long time, just to let the flour soak in. It’ll make muffins crumbly. If you stir up until the perfect flat mass, they will be extra pressed out.
