Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
- 1.5 cups Cheddar cheese, shredded
- 0.5 cups Unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
- 1 cup Buttermilk
- 2 whole Large eggs
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it with non-stick spray.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and granulated sugar until well combined.
Step 3
Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese, ensuring it is evenly coated with the flour mixture. This will prevent it from sinking to the bottom while baking.
Step 4
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the melted butter, buttermilk, and eggs until smooth and homogenous.
Step 5
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold the mixture together using a spatula or wooden spoon. Be careful not to overmix – the batter should be just combined and slightly lumpy.
Step 6
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the tops are golden and a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Step 8
Remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 9
Serve warm or at room temperature with butter or as an accompaniment to your favorite soups or salads. Enjoy!
