Okay, really…does life get any better than these two things….cheddar cheese and muffins?!?!? Put them together and they make a wonderful side dish, especially with soup on a cold winter day. I think I could make these babies work with just about any supper….they were that good!
Although, I kept comparing them to Red Lobsters Cheddar Bay Biscuits and so I thought mine needed a little more salt, but they really were perfectly fine the way they were. Kaylynn, my 7 yo, kept sneaking into the kitchen after supper for just one more bite. And one more bite. And one more bite! I had to hide one of the cheddar muffins for John because he was working late and missed supper.
Kaylynn did ask for bacon crumbles on top of the cheddar muffins for next time. GENIUS!
Cheddar Muffins
1 1/2 cups flour
3 tbls butter, cubed and cold
3/4 tsp salt
4 tsps baking powder
1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
1 tbls sugar
1 tsp dried onion flakes
1 tsp dried parsley flakes
3/4 cup milk
1/4 cup cottage cheese or sour cream
Preheat oven to 375 degrees and prepare a 12-count muffin tin with liners or non-stick cooking spray. Combine flour, salt, and baking powder in a large mixing bowl. Cut in butter until it’s pea-sized and well incorporated. Add in remaining ingredients, except milk and stir to combine. Slowly add in milk until mixture is well combined (note: you may not need all the milk or you may need a bit more) and a thick batter is formed. Spoon batter, evenly, into 10 muffin holes.
Bake for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack for 5 minutes and then remove muffins from pan to finish cooling.
These look so delicious. My family would love these. I have bookmarked this page and will definitely be trying this recipe soon.
These are baking in my oven right now and they look scrumptious! I can’t wait to taste them! I must say, however, that I’m not sure why your recipe says 4 TABLESPOONS of baking powder. I changed it to 4 TEASPOONS and they seem to be rising just fine. My many years of baking experience alerted me to the possible typo. We’ll see in a few minutes…Yep! AWESOME!!!
Those look dangerously delicious.
They look delicious! I love the Red Lobster ones so would definitely try these.
Those look divine!!! And easy to make too
I will be making these this Sunday morning…
Oh my goodness. These look scrumptious! What a perfect way to serve individual size for parties! 🙂 Thanks for sharing and have a wonderful weekend. Wish you and your family a blessed Thanksgiving.
I will gladly take a dozen – gladly.
Ooh those look yummy!
Oh yeah! Here’s one I gotta try!
