Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon Baking powder
• 2 tablespoons Sugar
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 2 cups Sharp cheddar cheese, grated
• 1 cup Whole milk
• 1 stick Unsalted butter, melted
• 1 piece Large egg
• 1 Non-stick cooking spray or butter (for greasing the muffin tin)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Grease a 12-cup muffin tin with non-stick cooking spray or butter.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt until well combined.

Step 4

Stir in the grated cheddar cheese, ensuring the cheese is evenly distributed throughout the dry mixture.

Step 5

In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, melted butter, and egg until fully combined.

Step 6

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.

Step 7

Evenly divide the batter among the prepared muffin cups. Each cup should be about 2/3 full.

Step 8

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 9

Remove the muffin tin from the oven and allow the muffins to cool in the tin for about 5 minutes.

Step 10

Transfer the muffins to a wire rack to cool completely or serve warm.
