Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 4-1/2 teaspoons sugar
  • 1-1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 large egg, lightly beaten
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1/3 cup butter, melted
  • 2 teaspoons spicy brown mustard
  • 1/8 teaspoon hot pepper sauce
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Method

  • In a large bowl, combine the first five ingredients. Combine the egg, buttermilk, butter, mustard and hot pepper sauce; stir into the dry ingredients just until moistened. Fold in cheese.
  • Fill greased or paper-lined muffin cups two-thirds full. Bake at 400° for 15-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool for 5 minutes before removing from pan to a wire rack. Serve warm. Refrigerate any leftovers.
