More muffins

Definitely on a muffin kick today. It's still cold and dreary, so I thought I'd make something really warming for supper. However, I wanted to keep it simple and light, so here's what I came up with. Tomato soup with cheddar cayenne muffins. The muffins have a nice little zip that gets your circulation going.

Cheddar Cayenne Muffins

2 cups flour
1 tbs baking power
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp cayenne
1 large egg
1 cup milk
1/4 cup vegetable oil
2 Tbs sugar
1 Tbs grainy dijon mustard
1 cup sharp cheddar (I like Sussex Old)

In a large bowl, combine the first four ingredients. In a separate bowl, mix together all the remaining ingredients except the cheese. Add the liquid mix to the dry mix and stir until combined. Stir in cheddar. Spoon into greased muffin tins. Bake at 375 F for 20 minutes. Let stand 5 minutes before transferring to rack to cool. (Actually, we ate them steaming hot with the soup and they were great!)
