After baking these many times I have found that they are wonderful having been baked only 30 mins. They have a more soft cheesey taste-but are wonderful browned also. Wonderful with tomatoe or cheese soup. IRA DENNIS (LVFG53A). These are from my Grandmother's old RUMFORD BAKING POWDER cookbook. They were called Cheese Puff Muffins-but are really more of a cheese biscuit.
