Method

Preheat the oven to gas 6, 200°C, fan 180°C and brush a 12-hole muffin tin with butter. Mix the cornmeal, flour, baking powder, bicarbonate of soda and a pinch of salt in a bowl.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter, egg and buttermilk. Pour into the dry ingredients and fold together. Mix in 40g Cheddar, 50g sundried tomatoes, 15g jalapeños and the chopped rosemary. Divide between the holes of the muffin tin, then top with the remaining Cheddar, sundried tomatoes, jalapeños and the rosemary leaves. Bake for 20-25 mins until risen and an inserted skewer comes out clean; if the muffins colour too quickly, cover with foil. Will keep in a sealed container for 2-3 days.

Use it up: Mix any leftover buttermilk from the muffins with lemon juice and seasoning to make a Caesar-style salad dressing.
