If you’re looking for a savory treat with a South African twist, this biltong & cheese muffins recipe delivers. Imagine tender, fluffy muffins infused with the rich, cured flavour of biltong and the comforting cheesiness of melted cheddar—perfect for breakfast, snacks, or a unique teatime treat.

We start with Gideon Milling’s stone‑ground cake wheat flour, renowned for its fine texture and authentic wheat flavour. This quality base gives the muffins structure while staying light and yielding a golden crust. Mixing in grated cheddar and powdered biltong adds rich, savory depth that sets these muffins apart.

The method is simple: whisk together dry ingredients (flour, baking powder, salt), then stir in cheese and biltong. Add wet ingredients (milk, eggs, oil), mix until just combined, and spoon into tins. Bake at 180 °C for 25–30 minutes until the tops are crisp and slightly golden.

Variations are endless: try different cheese types, add herbs like chives or thyme, or include small bits of jalapeño for a spicy kick. These muffins are versatile and kid-friendly—they even pair nicely with soups or salads.
