Recipe Information
Step by step guide to making Cheddar and sweetcorn cupcakes
- Preheat the oven to 200°C, fan 180°C, gas mark 6. Line a 12 hole cupcake tin with paper cases.
- Bring a pan of water to the boil, then cook the sweetcorn for 8-10 minutes, until tender. Run under cold water and then, using a sharp knife, slice off the kernels in a downwards motion.
- In a large bowl, mix the flour, 40g of the Cheddar, paprika, thyme, cooked sweetcorn, spring onions and baking powder. Grate in the butter and mix well with a butter knife.
- In a jug, beat the eggs and milk together until combined. Pour into the flour and cheese mixture and stir well.
- Spoon into the cupcake cases and sprinkle over the remaining 15g of cheese and a little extra paprika. Bake in the oven for 20 minutes, until golden.
- Remove the cupcakes from the tin and leave to cool for at least 10 minutes. These are delicious served warm, or can be cooled completely.
Cook's tip: Children can help make these cupcakes but they should be supervised when using the hob and oven, or handling hot foods.
