Cheddar Cheese Muffins

A quick recipe for light, fluffy, EASY homemade cheddar cheese muffins perfect for serving hot, fresh bread with any meal.

I've mentioned before that one of my deepest, darkest secrets is that I can’t make biscuits.  It’s actually pretty funny and everyone gets a good laugh out of it (hahahaha Mandy, that’s SO funny).

Except it’s not funny. Because I love biscuits and I'm known for being a good cook - a good SOUTHERN cook. Who can't make biscuits.

I can make drop biscuits like Nanny always made but I overwork the dough when I try to make regular biscuits. One of these days I'm going to set some time aside to figure this thing out but until then I'll just stick to my drop biscuits and recipes like this one!

Because I'm challenged in the ways of bread-making, I LOVE recipes like this one! This is a scratch-made quick-bread that you can whip up in minutes. Because some meals deserve fresh baked bread!

This is another of Mama’s recipes. These are light and fluffy and cheesy and really pretty unique.  I tried to jazz them up once and added garlic but I forgot about the sugar that’s in them and… well, garlic and sugar do not go together (at least not in this recipe!). So, don’t what I did.

One of these days I’m going to learn not to munk around with my mama’s recipes.

UPDATE!! I munked anyway!! I made these without the sugar and added garlic and they are scrumptious! Check out the recipe for Savory Cheddar Garlic Muffins coming soon!

A quick recipe for light, fluffy, EASY homemade cheddar cheese muffins perfect for serving hot, fresh bread with any meal.

Ingredients

• 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 4 oz cheddar cheese, grated
• 1 egg
• 1 cup milk
• 1/4 cup melted butter

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Grease a standard size muffin tin; set aside.
2. Combine flour, baking powder, sugar and salt in a bowl then stir with a fork until mixed well.
3. Add cheese then stir until all cheese is coated with flour mixture.
4. Beat egg in a separate bowl, add milk and melted butter then mix well.
5. Add egg mixture to flour mixture then stir with a fork until just combined.
6. Spoon mixture into a greased muffin tin, filling muffins about 2/3 full (may not have enough for 12 depending on the pan). Bake at 400 degrees for 18-22 minutes or until starting to brown around the edges.
7. Cool just until you can handle them then remove from tin and serve warm.

Notes

• Cooking spray works on coated or non-stick pans but I usually grease aluminum pans with butter or shortening.
• 4 ounces of cheddar cheese yields about a heaping cup shredded cheese.
• Depending on the pan size, you may not have enough batter for 12 muffins (I have a pan with larger muffins that I can only make 10 muffins in).
