Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
- 1 cup Cheddar cheese, shredded
- 2 tablespoons Sesame seeds, toasted
- 0.75 cup Whole milk
- 0.25 cup Unsalted butter, melted
- 1 unit Large egg
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease or line a 24-cup mini muffin tin with paper liners.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and granulated sugar until well combined.
Add the shredded cheddar cheese and 1 tablespoon of the toasted sesame seeds to the dry ingredients, and toss to coat the cheese with flour.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the whole milk, melted butter, and egg until smooth and fully combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter should still be slightly lumpy.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared mini muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
Sprinkle the remaining 1 tablespoon of toasted sesame seeds over the tops of the muffins for a decorative touch.
Bake in the preheated oven for 13-15 minutes, or until the muffins are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature. These muffins are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
