"Cake" 10: the appropriation of cheese muffins

So my flatmate offered his cheese muffins as an antidote to cake. I was muchly pleased. The recipe is from "Jenn's Baking Chamber" (um...), but they were pretty nice. He altered the recipe a bit, since it was deemed "too strange".

Cheese Muffins

2 cups flour
3/4 cup sugar (changed to 1/6 cup)
2 tsp baking powder (oh dear, he asked me before if I thought it was unreasonable that there were multiple "tablespoons" of baking powder in this mix, but I guess he misread the amount.... at any rate, the one I ate tasted fine)
1/2 tsp baking powder (omitted entirely)
1/2 tsp salt
3/4 cup milk (changed to 1 cup)
2 Tb sour cream (omitted)
1/3 cup melted and cooled butter (changed to oil instead of butter)
1 egg, lightly beaten
1 1/2 cups grated cheese,  plus 1/4 cup for "garnish"

Preheat oven to 350 F (176.6666 C), and grease a 12-muffin tin. Combine all dry ingredients. In a separate bowl, combine all the other ingredients apart from the cheese. Mix the wet into the dry, don't over mix. Add cheese, and gently fold in.

Bake 15-20 mins, or until lightly golden. Sprinkle extra cheese on top of hot muffins as soon as you take them out of the oven.

They were pretty tasty, slightly sweet though (I suspect the amount of sugar has been altered in light of this). Not bad for cheese muffins.... I actually used to loathe savoury muffins, so these ones are pretty good considering.
