What's the difference between 'savoury' and 'savory'?

In standard English spoken in the UK and other English-speaking countries, the taste is described as “savoury,” while the herb is always spelled “savory.” However, in the United States, both words - the adjective and the herb - are spelled “savory.” That is why you will notice that u0022savouryu0022 and u0022savoryu0022 as the adjective are often used interchangeably nowadays.

Instructions

Preheat oven to 356 F/180 C. To make the muffin dough, sift flour and baking powder with a flour sifter in a large bowl. Place eggs, olive oil, milk, salt, and pepper in a separate bowl to taste and mix with a hand whisk. Pour this preparation into a dry mixture and combine well.
To make the filling, cut fresh figs into medium-sized pieces. Next, cut the smoked ham into triangles or squares. Also, prepare grated Gruyere cheese. Add figs, ham, and cheese into the principal preparation and gently mix with a rubber spatula.
Butter wells of a muffin pan and pour the dough, filling up to two-thirds. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes. Check readiness of muffins with a toothpick: if it comes out dry, the muffins are ready. Remove them from the mold and let them cool on a wire rack. Serve immediately.

Notes

Don’t over stir the mixture. Once you add figs, ham and cheese, mix them just to combine.
Grease the cavities of a muffin pan well. If you want to use paper muffin cups, spray them with oil before placing the dough; although, using paper liners is unnecessary.
Keep your eye on the baking time: use a toothpick to test the muffins for readiness. Just remember that every oven is different.
