Ingredients

• 1 cup white sugar
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
• ½ teaspoon baking soda
• ¾ cup milk
• 1 large egg
• 4 tablespoons melted butter
• 1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a muffin tin with cooking spray.

Step 2

Whisk sugar and butter together until sugar is mostly dissolved. Stir in baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Add vinegar. Pour in flour slowly; make a small indent in the flour. Crack egg into the indent. Mix batter slightly and gradually pour in milk, mixing until just combined. Fold in Cheddar cheese.

Step 3

Spoon batter into the muffin cups until 3/4 full.

Step 4

Bake in the center of the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into a muffin comes out clean, about 15 minutes. Cool in the tin for 5 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
