How to Make Extra Cheese Muffins

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a mini muffin tin with paper liners.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, and baking soda. Mix well.
  3. In a separate bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the milk.
  5. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese.
  7. Fill the mini muffin cups about ¾ full.
  8. Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
