Ingredients:
- 240 g wheat flour
- 40 g sugar
- 15 g baking powder for cakes
- 10 g salt
- 2 g baking soda
- 250 g natural yogurt
- 2 eggs
- 60 g melted butter
- 60 g milk
- 200 g grated Canastra cheese
- 1 tablespoon chopped chives
- Bacon cut to taste
Preparation method:
Preheat the oven to 200 °C and grease a muffin tin (or use paper liners). In a bowl, sift the flour and add the sugar, baking powder, salt, and baking soda. Mix well and set aside. In another bowl, beat the yogurt, eggs, melted butter, and milk until homogeneous. Pour the liquids over the dry ingredients and mix gently with a spatula, just until incorporated. Add the grated Canastra cheese and chives, stirring lightly. Fill ⅔ of the liners with batter, add some bacon, and cover with more batter to the top. Bake in the preheated oven at 220 °C for about 20 to 25 minutes, or until golden and a toothpick comes out clean.
