Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup cornmeal
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 2 tbsp CCB Dip Mix
  • 1 tsp Louisiana Hot & Spicy Dip Mix
  • 2 cups grated low-fat sharp cheddar cheese, divided
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 cups milk
  • 1⁄2 cup melted butter

Preparation

  1. Preheat oven to 375° F (190° C).
  2. Place a lightly oiled Perfect Portion Muffin Pan on a Sheet Pan.
  3. Combine first 5 ingredients in a mixing bowl.
  4. Add 1 1⁄2 cups cheddar and stir with dry ingredients to coat. Make a well in the centre.
  5. In a separate bowl, beat eggs with milk and butter. Pour into well, and stir with a wooden spoon using swift strokes. Batter will be lumpy.
  6. Spoon into prepared pan, top with remaining cheddar, and bake for 15–20 minutes (may take 5–7 minutes longer if using Mini-Loaf Pans).
