Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 cup Whole milk
- 0.25 cups Unsalted butter, melted and cooled
- 2 pieces Large eggs
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup Diced cooked ham or cooked sausage crumbles
- 0.25 cup Chopped green onions (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin or line it with paper liners.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, salt, and black pepper.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, melted butter, and eggs until well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter will be slightly lumpy.
Fold in the shredded cheddar cheese, diced ham or sausage, and green onions, if using.
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 muffins are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, or freeze for longer storage.
