âAnything with basil is always a winner. It especially pairs well with the salty feta and sweet peppers in these savory, biscuit-like muffins.â âMaria Regakis, Somerville, Massachusetts Ingredients:
2 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
2 teaspoons baking powder |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/2 teaspoon baking soda |
1 egg |
1 cup buttermilk |
1/4 cup olive oil |
3/4 cup crumbled feta cheese |
1/2 cup chopped roasted sweet red peppers |
3 tablespoons minced fresh basil or 1 tablespoon dried basil |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt and baking soda. In another bowl, combine the egg, buttermilk and oil. Stir into dry ingredients just until moistened. Fold in the cheese, peppers and basil.
2. Fill greased muffin cups three-fourths full. Bake at 375° for 16-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool for 5 minutes before removing from pan to a wire rack. Serve warm. Yield: 9 muffins.
