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)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin or line it with paper liners.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Step 3
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the melted butter, milk, and egg until smooth.
Step 4
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.
Step 5
Fold in the shredded cheddar cheese and chives (if using) until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Step 6
Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full.
Step 7
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.
Step 8
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.
Step 9
Enjoy these delicious cheddar muffins on their own or with your favorite spread!
