                    The first time I made these muffins, my husband thought he'd gone to heaven! I found the recipe in an old cookbook and added more spices for a little extra zip. Ingredients: 
                    
                        
                                                2 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour  |  
                                                1 cup (4 ounces) shredded cheddar cheese  |  
                                                8 bacon strips, cooked and crumbled  |  
                                                2 tablespoons sugar  |  
                                                3 teaspoons baking powder  |  
                                                1/4 teaspoon salt  |  
                                                1/8 teaspoon garlic powder  |  
                                                1/8 teaspoon lemon-pepper seasoning  |  
                                                1 egg  |  
                                                1 cup milk  |  
                                                1/4 cup vegetable oil  |  
                                                
                     
                    Directions: 
                    
                        
                            
                                1. In a large bowl, combine the first eight ingredients. In a another bowl, beat the egg, milk and oil. Stir into dry ingredients just until moistened. 2. Fill greased muffin cups two-thirds full. Bake at 400° for 15-20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool for 5 minutes before removing from pan to a wire rack. Serve warm. Refrigerate leftovers. Yield: 1 dozen.                              |
