Italian Muffins

• 1/4 cup margarine or 1/4 cup butter, melted
• 2 teaspoons italian seasoning
• 1/4 teaspoon fresh coarse ground black pepper
• 4 1/4 cups baking mix
• 1 1/4 cups milk
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese or 1 cup cheddar cheese

1. Heat oven to 400 degrees.
2. Mix margarine, Italian seasoning, and pepper together.
3. Brush 12 medium muffin cups (2 1/2 x 1 1/4 inches) with about 3 tablespoons of the margarine mixture.
4. Mix baking mix, milk, and cheese until soft dough forms; beat 30 seconds.
5. (If dough is too sticky, gradually mix in enough baking mix- up to 1/4 cup- to make dough easy to handle).
6. Turn dough onto surface dusted with baking mix; roll in baking mix to coat.
7. Shape into ball; knead gently 6 to 8 times.
8. Cut dough into 12 pieces; shape each piece into a ball.
9. Place balls in muffin cups; brush with remaining margarine mixture.
10. Bake 15 to 20 minutes or until golden brown.
