Step 2
To make the muffin batter first cook the pancetta or lardons over medium heat in a non-stick frying pan until crisp and brown. Tip the bacon onto a plate lined with kitchen paper and set aside to cool. Place the flour, salt and baking powder into the bowl of the KitchenAid Artisan Stand Mixer, fitted with the whisk attachment and mix together for a few minutes or until combined.

Step 3
In a separate bowl whisk together the oil, egg and milk, then add the bacon, cheese and spring onions, briefly mixing together. Pour this mixture into the bowl of the mixer and mix together on a slow speed until just fully combined. Only use a slow speed as if you mix the batter too fast or for too long the muffins will be tough.

Divide the batter between the prepared muffin cases and top with a few sprigs of rosemary then bake in the preheated oven for about 25 minutes or until risen and golden brown. Allow to cool for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
