Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 2 pieces large eggs
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1.5 cups cheddar cheese, shredded
- 0.25 cup fresh chives, chopped
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease it lightly.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and black pepper.
Step 3
In another bowl, beat together the buttermilk, eggs, and melted butter until well combined.
Step 4
Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients using a spatula, being careful not to overmix the batter. It's okay if there are a few lumps.
Step 5
Fold in the shredded cheddar cheese and chopped chives, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Step 6
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the muffins are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Step 8
Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 9
Serve warm or at room temperature for a delicious savory treat.
