Yield: 1 dozen muffins
Ingredients:
- 2 cups self-rising flour (Note: You can make your own self-rising flour by combining 1 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder and 1/2 teaspoon of salt for each cup of all-purpose flour.)
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 cup milk
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1/2 cup diced ham

In a large bowl, sift together the self-rising flour and baking soda.

In another bowl, combine the milk, mayonnaise, diced ham, and shredded cheddar cheese.

Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
-
Fill each muffin cup about two-thirds full with the batter.
-
Bake in the preheated oven for 16 to 18 minutes, or until the muffins are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
-
Optional: While the muffins are still hot out of the oven, sprinkle the tops with extra shredded cheddar cheese for an extra cheesy kick.

Allow the muffins to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them warm or at room temperature!
