Carol, from Timaru...
Cheese Scruffins
A cheese/savoury muffin which is very puffy, light & ultra tasty!
A recipe given to me by an elderly neighbour, who has made them for 50 years, to much acclaim from family & friends...she has great grandchildren who beg for them on each visit.
I like them because they are quick & easy, melt in the mouth, & have found (just like my neighbour) they are always a hit!
