Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 375℉/190℃. Grease the muffin tin with oil and set aside. You can also use muffin liners, but I've found the cheese sticks to them unless they are completely cool.
  • Using the largest section of your grater, grate your cheese and then your butter. Place the butter in the fridge until ready to use. It has to be cold.
    1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, 1/3 cup cold butter
  • In a large-sized bowl, add in flour, sugar, baking powder, cornstarch, garlic powder, and salt. Mix together.
    2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 1/2 tbsp white sugar, 1/2 tsp salt*, 3 1/2 tsps baking powder, 3/4 tsps garlic powder*, 1 tbsp cornstarch
  • Add in the cold grated butter and using a spoon or fork, mix together until the butter is evenly coated in the mixture.
    1/3 cup cold butter
  • Add the cheese in and mix until evenly coated.
    1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • In a separate bowl, add in the eggs and milk and whisk together.
    2 large eggs, 1 cup milk
  • Add the egg mixture into the cheese mixture and using a spatula, very gently mix it together until no flour streaks appear. Don't over-mix!
  • Scoop the batter into each muffin tin. This recipe makes 10 large muffins, or 12 smaller muffins. I wanted mine taller, so I made 10. I recommend using an ice cream scooper for minimal mess.
  • Bake the cheese muffins at 375℉ for 20-22 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  • Allow to slightly cool, and enjoy! My favourite way to eat these cheese muffins is warm with a bit of butter. Drool!!!

Notes

*These muffins are mild in taste, so if you want to add more salt or garlic powder, then go for it!
