Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 2 pieces large eggs
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1.5 cups cheddar cheese, shredded
- 0.25 cup fresh chives, chopped
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease it lightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and black pepper.
In another bowl, beat together the buttermilk, eggs, and melted butter until well combined.
Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients using a spatula, being careful not to overmix the batter. It's okay if there are a few lumps.
Fold in the shredded cheddar cheese and chopped chives, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters 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 tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature for a delicious savory treat.
