Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground black pepper
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 cup Buttermilk
- 0.25 cups Unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
- 1 cup Feta cheese, crumbled
- 2 tablespoons Fresh chives, finely chopped
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a standard 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease the tin well.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and ground black pepper until well combined.
In a separate medium-sized bowl, beat the eggs lightly. Add the buttermilk and melted butter, and whisk until fully incorporated.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently with a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix—the batter should be slightly lumpy.
Fold in the crumbled feta cheese and chopped chives until evenly distributed through the batter.
Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about three-quarters full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18–20 minutes, or until the tops are golden and a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely or enjoy them warm.
