Peppered Cheddar Muffins

You will need:

• 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 3/4 cup shredded Sweetwater Valley sharp cheddar cheese
• 1 (2-ounce) jar diced Moody Dunbar pimiento peppers, drained
• 1/4 cup cornmeal
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
• 3 tablespoons finely chopped green bell pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon ground red pepper
• 2 eggs, beaten
• 1-1/2 cups milk
• 1/4 cup vegetable oil

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Lightly grease muffin tins and set aside. Combine first 10 ingredients in a large mixing bowl. Make a well in the center. In a separate bowl, combine eggs, milk and oil. Add to dry ingredients, stirring just until combined. Spoon into prepared muffin cups, filling two-thirds full. Bake 20-25 minutes. Remove from pans immediately. For mini muffins, cut baking time roughly in half.

Yield: 18 regular muffins or 54 mini muffiins
