Preparation
Step 1
Preheat oven to 180°C/350°F (160°C/320°F fan).
Step 2
Brush a 12 hole standard muffin tin generously with butter
Step 3
Whisk Dry ingredients in a bowl.
Step 4
Whisk Wet ingredients in a separate bowl.
Step 5
Pour Wet into the Dry ingredients bowl. Mix 8 times.
Step 6
Add cheese, feta, sun dried tomato, capsicum, olives and green onion. Mix as few times as possible just to incorporate remaining bits of flour - no more than 7 big stirs (secret to soft muffs).
Step 7
Divide between 12 holes in muffin in (I use an ice cream scooper). Batter should be thick and fill muffin tin slightly mounded (see video)
Step 8
Bake for 25 minutes or until the muffins are golden and crusty and spring back when touched in the centre.
Step 9
Cool for 10 minutes, then transfer to cooling rack. Serve warm for optimum experience!
