Author: Marina
Ingredients
  • 2 cups organic all purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup cold butter
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda mixed in 1/2 cup plain yogurt or buttermilk
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • 3 Italian seasoned sausages I used Bilinsky's organic chicken-cooked and chopped into small bits
  • 1 or 1 1/2 cups of shredded Italian cheese (I used Organic Valley's Italian blend- mozzarella, provolone, romano & parmesan cheeses)
Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit
  2. In your mixer, mix the flour, salt, baking powder and sugar together.
  3. Add the milk to the dry mix and grate the butter into the mix
  4. Now add the grated cheese, sausages and mix well.
  5. Spoon the prepared batter into your muffin pans. (This will make 12 regular sized muffins and 24 mini muffins or 24 regular sized muffins)
  6. Place the trays into the oven and bake for 10-12 minutes (Or till the muffins are golden brown)

    Awww, these look totally scrumptious! I love portable and bite sized breakfast options! I love pressing waffles, pancakes or english muffins into tins and baking them.. sometimes I scoop in ingredients after or sometimes I bake it with eggs and goodies inside. Delish!

  6. These would be great to make and then freeze for an easy to grab and microwave option on busy mornings! I bet they’d be tasty with diced ham or turkey too.
