Preparation

Step 1

1. Preheat the oven to 325.

2. Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat, then fry the onion until cooked. Set aside.

3. Put the flour, baking powder, cayenne, and cheese in a large bowl. In a separate bowl, mix the milk and egg together, then slowly pour into the flour mixture and beat with a handheld electric whisk.

4. Stir in the onion and spinach with a wooden spoon until evenly dispersed.

5. Spoon the batter into the paper cases until two thirds full and bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until deep golden and a skewer inserted in the center comes out clean. Let the muffins cool slightly in the pan before turning out onto a wire rack to cool.
