The ingredients are pretty simple, but the taste is wonderful.  By using different types of flours and cheeses, you can customize this recipe to fit the flavour profile of your meal.

Choose your flours, grate your cheese….put the dried onion flakes into the sour cream along with the milk, eggs and oil.

Combine the flours and the sour cream mixture.

Add in the grated cheese.

Scoop batter into prepared muffin tins.

Bake at 375° for approximately 18-20 minutes.

And there you have it….warm muffins and a house that smells great.

For this recipe I used whole wheat and 12 grain flour along with old cheddar.
