1.
Warm the milk in the microwave for 30-60 seconds then add the Chilli Chai to an infuser and let it steep in the milk for a few minutes.
-
2.
In a large bowl add the plain flour, baking powder, dried chilli, salt and cheddar cheese and mix it all together well.
-
3.
In a separate bowl or jug combine the butter, oil, eggs, infused milk and buttermilk then pour the mixture into the dried flour bowl.
-
4.
Gently fold the batter together until just combined, being careful not to over mix. It’s okay to have a few specs of flour still showing. TIP: For muffins with extra rise, leave the batter to rest at room temperature for 1 hour.
-
5.
Preheat a fan oven to 200°C/Gas Mark 6 and line a muffin tin with cases.

6.
Scoop the batter into muffin cases so they are filled to the top, then scatter with extra cheese and some chilli flakes.

7.
Bake for 18-20 minutes. These are best served warm but are equally delicious cold.
