Method

  1. Step 1:

    Preheat the oven to 180°C (160°C fan, gas mark 4) and line a cupcake tray with 12 paper cupcake cases.

  2. Step 2:

    Snip the bacon into pieces and fry until crispy then leave to cool. Keep aside a couple of pieces for your cupcake topping.

  3. Step 3:

    Place the flour, salt, mustard powder, cheddar and bacon in a mixing bowl.

  4. Step 4:

    In a jug beat together the oil, buttermilk or yogurt, milk and egg then beat into the flour mixture until well mixed. Don't worry if the mixture appears a bit lumpy.

  5. Step 5:

    Divide the mixture between the paper cupcake cases and bake for 20-25 mins until golden and just firm to the touch. Allow to cool.

  6. Step 6:

    To decorate, mix the cream cheese with most of the grated cheddar and pipe on top of the cakes. Finish with a piece of crisp bacon on top. Store in the fridge for up to 2 days
