Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 0.25 cup unsalted butter (melted and slightly cooled)
- 1 cup milk
- 1 piece large egg
- 1.5 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and 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 until well combined.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the melted butter, milk, and egg until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; some lumps are okay.
Fold in the shredded cheddar cheese and chives (if using) until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the tin for 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely or serve warm.
Enjoy these delicious cheddar muffins on their own or with your favorite spread!
