When I was first married, I found a muffin recipe that called for bacon. I modified it through the years and came up with this recipe. It's become a favorite breakfast treat for my husband and me. He grew up in northern New Mexico and thinks most foods benefit from the addition of green chilies. Ingredients:
10 bacon strips |
2 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
1/4 cup sugar |
1 tablespoon baking powder |
3/4 cup milk |
1 egg |
1-1/2 cups (6 ounces) shredded cheddar cheese |
1/4 cup diced green chilies |
Directions:
1. In a skillet, cook the bacon until crisp; reserve 1/3 cup drippings. Crumble bacon and set aside. In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar and baking powder. In a bowl, beat milk, egg and drippings; stir into dry ingredients just until moistened. Fold in the cheese, chilies and bacon. Fill greased or paper-lined muffin cups three-fourths full. Bake at 400° for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown. Serve warm. Yield: 14 servings.
