Servings: persons

1 cup all-purpose flour, plus 2 tbsp
1 1/2 tbsp butter
1/2 cup vegetable oil, plus 1 tbsp
1 None medium onion, halved, sliced
1 3/4 cup self-rising flour
3 oz Cheddar cheese, grated
1 tbsp fresh chives, chopped
1 None large egg, lightly beaten
1 1/4 cups buttermilk
None None FOR THE CHIVE BUTTER
1.5 oz cream cheese, softened
3 1/2 tbsp butter, softened
2 tsp lemon juice
1 tbsp chopped fresh chives

1
Place 1/4 cup flour in a small bowl. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs. Mix in just enough water (about 1 tsp) to bind ingredients. Press into a ball, cover and freeze for 30 mins, or until firm.
2
Preheat oven to 400u00b0F. Grease a 6-cup muffin pan. Heat 1 tbsp oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Cook onion, stirring, until soft and lightly browned. Let cool.
3
Sift self-rising and remaining all-purpose flour into a large bowl. Stir in 1/2 the onion, 1/2 the Cheddar and all of the chives. Mix in egg, buttermilk and remaining oil until combined. Distribute between muffin recesses.
4
Graze frozen dough into a small bowl. Quickly mix in remaining onion and cheese. Sprinkle over muffins and bake for 25 mins, or until a skewer inserted in the center comes out clean.
5
To make the chive butter, beat cream cheese and butter together until smooth. Stir in lemon juice and chives. Serve with hot muffins.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
Coconut cream is a reliable plant-based alternative to dairy cream.
