Ingredients

2 cup (300g) self-raising flour

1/2 teaspoon mild paprika

1 cup (250ml) buttermilk

1 egg, beaten lightly

80 gram margarine, melted

2/3 cup (80g) grated cheddar cheese

125 gram can corn kernels, rinsed, drained

1 green onion, sliced thinly

2 teaspoon finely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley

Method

1.Preheat the oven to 200°C (180°C fan-forced). Grease a 12-hole (1/2 cup-capacity) muffin pan; line holes with free-form baking paper cases.

2.In a medium bowl, sift flour and paprika; make a well in the centre. In a separate bowl, combine buttermilk, egg, margarine, cheese, zucchini, corn, onion and parsley. Add to flour mixture; stir gently with a large metal spoon,until just combined. Do not over-mix; the mixture should still be slightly lumpy.

3.Spoon mixture into pan holes. Bake about 20 minutes, or until lightly golden and cooked when tested with a skewer. Stand 5 minutes. Turning onto a wire rack to cool completely.

To make the free-form cases: cut 10cm squares from baking paper and press into each greased pan hole.
