Savory Cheddar Herb Muffins
Mini muffins combining boxed cornbread mix with sea salt, large eggs, and buttermilk. Sharp aged cheddar replaces mild cheese, with fresh rosemary added for punch. Baked in mini tins until golden brown and springy to the touch. About 30 muffins per batch. Preparation involves combining dry and wet ingredients to achieve a thick batter. Key visual cues guide doneness—cracked golden tops, firm spring back, no wet batter inside. Substitutes for cheese or dairy suggested to rescue variations. Timing adjusted slightly for oven variability and moisture levels.
