"Drier/thicker batter than I expected for muffins but taste great. I didn't think they needed any more salt with the bacon and cheese, so added pepper instead"

"I made these but slightly changed the recipe. I used Self Raising Flour and no Baking Powder. I did not use the Salt. I used Sundried Tomatoes rather than ordinary Tomatoes and i used Mature Cheddar Cheese! They were wonderful and loved by all who tried them! "

"I didn't include the chives as I didn't think it was needed, and the muffins could maybe has done with a bit more bacon, but this recipe was delicious and resulted in a very happy family on Saturday morning!"

Bakingmad: "Excellent. That's the great thing with recipes you can make additions to suit your family and friends tastes. Happy Baking"
