Ingredients

2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 cup polenta
8.5 oz cheddar cheese, coarsely grated
3 None scallions, finely chopped
1 None red pepper, diced
1 1/3 cups buttermilk
1/4 cup butter, melted
2 None large eggs, lightly beaten

Preparation

Preheat the oven to 425\u00b0F. Lightly grease three 6-hole jumbo (3/4 cup) muffin pans.
Sift the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cayenne and salt into a bowl. Stir in the polenta, cheddar, scallions and red pepper.
In a separate bowl, stir together the buttermilk, butter and eggs. Gently fold the buttermilk mixture into the flour mixture until just combined (don't over-mix). Spoon into the prepared pans and bake for 20 mins, until golden. Turn out onto wire racks to cool. Serve.
