Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Dough Ingredients
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
Filling Ingredients
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 2 tablespoons garlic, minced
  • ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare a muffin tin by greasing it lightly.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Whisk until well mixed.
  3. In another bowl, whisk together the buttermilk and melted butter. Slowly pour this mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined—don't overmix!
  4. Fold in the shredded mozzarella and minced garlic, ensuring an even distribution throughout the batter.
  5. Scoop the batter into the greased muffin tin, filling each cup about ¾ full.
  6. Sprinkle grated Parmesan on top of each muffin for that added cheesy goodness.
  7. Bake for about 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  8. Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired!

Notes

Use fresh ingredients for the best flavor. Experiment with fillings! Try adding diced jalapeños for a spicy kick or sun-dried tomatoes for a touch of sweetness. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days. Refrigerate for up to a week and reheat in the oven for best results.
