Ingredients

• 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Granulated sugar
• 2 cups Sharp cheddar cheese, grated
• 0.25 cup Fresh dill, chopped
• 2 large Eggs
• 1.25 cups Whole milk
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, melted and cooled

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare a jumbo 6-cup muffin tin by greasing it lightly or lining it with oversized muffin liners.

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 grated sharp cheddar cheese and chopped fresh dill, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dry mixture.

Step 4

In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, whole milk, and melted butter until fully blended.

Step 5

Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients and gently stir until combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be lumpy but evenly moist.

Step 6

Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each nearly to the top.

Step 7

Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 20-22 minutes, or until the muffins are golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted into the center 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 further (if you can resist eating them right away!).

Step 9

Serve warm or at room temperature. These muffins pair wonderfully with soups, salads, or enjoyed on their own.
