Ingredients

  • 12 Taste the Difference smoked pancetta rashers
  • 250g self-raising flour
  • 1½ tsp English mustard powder
  • 2 tsp caster sugar
  • ½ tsp bicarbonate of soda
  • ½ tsp baking powder
  • 75g strong cheddar, grated
  • 25g strong cheddar, for the topping
  • 50g Taste the Difference sunkiss tomatoes, drained and chopped
  • 200ml whole milk
  • 50ml full-fat Greek yogurt
  • 2 large eggs

Step by step

  1. Preheat the oven to 180°C, fan 160°C, gas 4. Arrange the pancetta in a shallow baking tray. Cook in the oven for 10-15 minutes until cooked; set aside to cool. Snip 5 of the rashers in half and set aside for the topping. Snip the remaining 7 rashers into small pieces. Line a 12-hole muffin tin with 10 cafe-style muffin cases, or if you're using standard muffin cases, you'll need 12.
  2. Into a large bowl, sieve the self-raising flour, mustard powder, sugar, bicarbonate of soda, baking powder and a pinch of salt. Add 75g grated cheddar, the sundried tomato pieces and pancetta. In a jug, mix together the milk, yogurt and eggs with a fork, fold into the pancetta and cheese mixture with a large metal spoon until just combined. Divide equally between the cases.
  3. Top each muffin with half a rasher of cooked pancetta and sprinkle with a little of the remaining grated cheddar cheese. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the muffins are well risen and golden brown. Leave them to cool slightly on a wire rack. Serve warm.
