Recipe Information

Step by step guide to making Cheddar and sweetcorn cupcakes

  1. Preheat the oven to 200°C, fan 180°C, gas mark 6. Line a 12 hole cupcake tin with paper cases.
  2. 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.
