Ingredients
- 250 grams all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 125 milliliters salad dressing (ranch, Italian, or Caesar recommended)
- 120 milliliters buttermilk
- 1 whole large egg
- 60 grams unsalted butter, melted
- 100 grams shredded cheese (e.g., cheddar or Parmesan)
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh herbs (e.g., parsley, dill, or chives)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease the tin with a non-stick spray.
Step 2
In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar until well combined.
Step 3
In a medium bowl, mix the salad dressing, buttermilk, egg, and melted butter until smooth and fully incorporated.
Step 4
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
Step 5
Fold in the shredded cheese and fresh herbs gently until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Step 6
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 18–20 minutes, or until 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 before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 9
Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy these muffins as a snack, alongside soup, or as part of a brunch spread!
