Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
- 1.5 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup Milk
- 0.25 cup Unsalted butter, melted
- 1 piece Large egg
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease each cup thoroughly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar until evenly combined.
Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese, ensuring it is evenly distributed throughout the dry mixture.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the milk, melted butter, and egg until well combined.
Gradually add the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter will be thick.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the tops of the muffins are golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
