I found this recipe on About.com, here.
I'd never made ham-and-cheese muffins before, but I like cornbread, and cheese biscuits, so this sounded good. I was pleasantly surprised that these share so much of the prep with standard dessert-y or breakfast-y muffins, including how the batter should look.
This is NOT an ingredient. This is an assistant to the muffin-making. Meet Smokay, the new cat.
Here's all the stuff I had to pull out to find my cornmeal. Yes, we eat a lot of rice.
Notice I forgot the onions in the recipe. Oops. I added some garlic powder. Not pictured.
The secret to muffin fillings not all sinking to the bottom is, apparently, to coat them in flour first. So, that's what you see here, with the ham and cheese mixing in the flour.
This is a correct texture for any kind of muffin batter-- which let me know I was doing it right. Lumpy, but not so runny you can't drag a fork through and see the bottom of the bowl for a few seconds.
And here they are in my baaaaaby loaf pans.
And here they are 27 minutes later, approximately 5 minutes before being a happy memory.
Hooray! I like these muffins.
