Notes

  1. You can use 120g semolina flour and 110g self-raising flour for a slightly more textured muffin.   
  2. You can substitute polenta for the semolina for a more corny crumb. 
  3. I ran out of buttermilk in one instance with only 82g left in the bottle so I added yogurt to top up to make the total 125g.  It worked!
  4. Make these muffins yours by adding your favorite vegetables like spinach, courgette, butternut, beetroot.
