Preheat oven to 180C/350F (standard) or 160C/320F (fan).
Place butter and garlic in a microwave proof bowl and melt in 30 second bursts. Mix.
Brush a 12 hole standard muffin tin generously with butter, being sure to slather with some garlic. Reserve some butter to brush tops.
Whisk Dry ingredients in a bowl.
Whisk Wet ingredients in a separate bowl.
Pour Wet into the Dry ingredients bowl. Mix 8 times. Add cheese, mix as few times as possible just to incorporate remaining bits of flour - no more than 7 big stirs.
Divide between 11 holes in muffin tin. Batter should be thick and fill muffin tin to top.
Bake for 22 - 25 minutes or until the muffins are golden and crusty and spring back when touched in the centre.
Remove onto cooling rack, brush with remaining butter and cool slightly before serving.
